they had that depressing speaker up there. let me tell you the good news. the good news is with all of the attacks on religious freedom we have a method of dealing with this and it isn't just a there oh it is working. if you looked at the legal groups that are non-profits, rather it is left or right, they use the same method. raise as much money as you can, hire as many attorneys as you can, put them in washington, d.c. and ship them around the country to deal with as many cases as they can. that is not our model. ...

we now have the top 50 law firms in the country, over half that don't just donate their time, they fight over who gets to donate their time for the privilege of doing these cases and defending our country. [applause] and the result of that is twofold. number one, for every case we spend, for every $10,000 we spend on the case begins 60,000 donated from these attorneys. where will the multiple resources. additionally, if you look at the nonprofit legal groups and their when loss record 5050, maybe

they are 6040. or when rate now for 12 years straight has been about 9%. [applause] because when we do , our attorney lives in montana is that is where the cases. he's from one of the biggest law firms there. he grew up there. he is known there thought the beauty and the judge were fishing buddies when there were 12. when the aclu that flies in from new york city he has a disadvantage. are people of the best of the best of the best. a government where some nonprofit. the statue was built on religious freedom. if people are going to stand up we other resources set stand with them and to win over 90 percent of the cases and make sure we get back to the founding principles of the country. [applause]

and i want to encourage you, as we start this effort, a group started originally out of a little state, texas. we were just planning to be texas' top but when you start winning 97 percent of your cases people start asking you to do your cases elsewhere we began to it go national. and i would ask you if you could do as a favor, to be our ambassador him to let people know that there is help out there. they can go to our website and see what their rights are, get a copy of all the attacks around the country. so i would occur is everybody here, there are few ways you can do that. go to liberty institute and make sure you are involved. you will get an e-mail every week on what is going on. go to our booth. you can get a copy of one of these with all the listing of the cases.

you can get a copy. at 5:00 will be signing my book which we're giving away. supreme irony. and i just want to end with a story. number of years ago i was minding my own business eating lunch looking in my newspaper and i saw something i had never seen, senior citizens holding picket signs. i thought, well, that is unusual. there have been told they could not pray over their meals were singing gospel songs in the piano in the back. a young guy fresh of the military policy if we can help these people. before i could finish my sentence he was peeling of this parking lot. he gets there and they say, look, we are the has-beens, nobody's. there are four guys on the city council that control everything. we never thought anybody would help us, it's less lawyers for free. so this young attorney comes back and says, the city does not deserve to be warned. they should be destroyed. no, we are christian organization.

we will send them a letter. try to get this corrected. and they decided to fight it. we had a press conference and i had all the seniors behind me. at the end, does anybody want to say anything? well, 77 years old, from world war ii, has a western suit and cowboy boots. he walks up and says, i fought world war ii for these freedoms, and i'm not going into the corner to break. they can arrest me. as long as it says what i was arrested for, arrests for prying . about an hour later get a call fr we get a call from mr. perot's producer saying, we want the guy and a hat. his first plane ride we ended up winning this case. we won in junction pemmican never interfere with bring over meals again, singing gospel songs.

even when a little money so they called a celebration party in the senior center. my favorite part was what happened after the case. that is, everybody in the city wants to the policy news beat the powerful city council members. they all decided solar recall election ended off -- through all four of those people out of office. [applause] and about a year-and-a-half ago i get a postcard from one of the seniors because she wanted me to know that she was now one of the new city council members. sometimes we sit around and think, what can i do. i am one person. we can do anything we want everyone to stand up just like those seniors did. god bless you. thank you for having me.

[applause] >> it is a real privilege and honor to be able to introduce the next speaker who is truly a champion for our values. someone who has stood up time and time again in defense of the truth about marriage, in defense of the truth of the nature of human

rights and dignity and as someone that many of us have looked up to for a long time . as many of you know within the republican party there are some that think it would be a good idea to take the three legs of the stool, social conservatives, economic conservatives, foreign-policy conservatives , take the three legs and just get rid of that social conservatives like, maybe lop off a little bit. we know that that is the exact way that we have been losing elections, not a minimum. the simple truth is that you cannot blame social conservatives for lost elections when he spent over $1 billion then almost no and did he mention marriage. it is not our fault. instead, when we have

leaders who boldly stand for the party platform, who boldly stand for the truth that varies is the union of a man and woman, for the truth life begins at conception, voters can trust them because they're standing up and talking about what they believe and. the reality is that if someone will betray the core truth about our values and lives, why would then not betray our values and foreign policy or the economic ground. they all go together. and in our neck -- and our next speaker has stood up, and we know him as someone who is still up on our values your home. and most importantly and foreign-policy, senator rick santorum before all of us were talking about syria, what we heard every day in

the news and were chatting about, back in 2003 offered and move through congress this year and accountability act to hold terrorists accountable, the iran freedom and support act in 2005 to encourage democracy and again to hold the folks that would do damage to our country accountable, he was a rebel leader, a visionary leader who realized that to be a conservative is to stand with all three legs of that stool. it is my privilege and honor to give you former presidential candidate and u.s. senator rick santorum. [applause] ♪ >> thank you.

♪ thank you. very kind. thank you very much. thank you for the great work did you do in the national organization of marriage. thank all of you for being here. this is my ninth speech here that value voters summit. it is because there have only been nine value voters summits. i told tony backstays that i expect the pen next year like in attendance in virginia ears. but i come here because, as bryan said, leaked together have been out there fighting the battles on these fronts. we have been successful in many respects, much more than certainly anyone expected on some issues, particularly on the life issue, some dramatic and an average into america coming to the realization. i can tell you for me

personally obviously that is a very important issue, one that -- is not just one i have been out there speaking about and taking podiums but have been living. want to give you regards from karen and our children and particularly want to give you regards from our liberal, bella to the grace of god, your purse who is now six and a half years old [applause] chino, i have taken these podiums in the thousands of them, literally thousands of them to talk about life. but through bella got has given karen and i gift of not just talking to about life but living an example of the blessings and, frankly, the crosses that come with the exceptions and the dignity of human life.

it is a wonderful opportunity that i have to witness to that. in fact, karen and i have just as the book that will be coming out in february that will be a very long witness as to the life of a family, as somewhat high-profile family with a special needs little girl. the name of the book which i hope you will have the upper edge into the deceit is the gift. i am excited of the sharing the reality of accepting life tell this forms and respecting it for what it is and what can be. we have been out here fighting the battle now for nine years. and i think that we all realize and have heard speeches over these last nine years and for many years before about the class that is going on.

the american and french revolution. when the believes in god given night to of rights, the dignity of human life that is the foundational principles. the most prosperous and free nation in the history of the world in the and there are others of western civilization soon descended for another revolution. a clerical revolution that believed that in rights being given to you by the state. replace the king, the sovereign king with a sovereign state. this state is the one that gives us rights. ladies and gentlemen, that clashes front and center in america today. we are seeing it, like we have never seen it. you just heard from kelly shackle for it. the assault on religious liberty in america, unprecedented, but not unexpected. you see, if you understand and if you look at the world through clear rise, not

through rose colored glasses or through some contorted few, but you look at the real struggle that has taken place in america today, it is a very easy to see where we're going. many people have criticized me in the past for going out in front on some issue saying, this will never be a problem in america. in 2004 and then again in 2006, something that everyone says it is premature. wire you even talking about this? it will never be an issue in america. go back and read the debate. it was of federal marriage amendment. this will never be an issue. this cannot possibly happen here. if you look clearly through the prism of the struggle that is at hand, it is easy to see why i introduced the workplace religious freedom act 12 years ago to protect the very people that we now are seeing in court cases

like hobby lobby. it is easy to see where we are going if you know what the fight is, and that is why it is important, ladies and gentlemen, to elect leaders and to have leaders within our movement which we, frankly, do not have many of, particularly in the republican establishment to understand the existential struggle that is in america today. and then are prepared to engage in that struggle because when we lose these battles to know when we lose these precious freedoms that i talk about, then everything else will start to fall. the government has done more intrusive and bigger and dictatorial. the ones to control government are the ones who will be dictating not just to your practice religion but how you run your business, who you do business with and how. economic freedom is certain to go, as is everything else. so ladies and gentlemen, we know very well that this

class of the -- clash of civilizations, if you will, is present in america today. when i heard the president said at the united nations that there is no clash of civilizations at stake and that this is all hogwash, of tripe from those who do not see the world the way he sees the world, i would suggest to you that is because he sees the world as a descendant of the french revolution and does not quite see the lines, as someone who understands the dignity of all human life and the protection of liberty and freedom of conscience. and a world from a very fundamentally different world, not of western civilization, that sees god and people differently from a fundamentally different than we do here. so, yes, there is a very big clash going on right now in

the middle east against a civilization that, for 1300 years given their respite of a couple hundred years, has been in conflict with a civilization. those who have -- those who ignore history are destined to repeat it. unless we have a clear mind leaders who can look at that glass and looked into the future and say, here is where we're going, here is what is next because i have seen this before. back in 2004 -- 2003, as brian mentioned, i introduced this year and accountability act, the run freelance support act because i said back then that they're pursuing a nuclear weapon, and the administration, at this time the bush administration said , no. if you understand shia is on and the leaders of iran and

you hear what they say, not just to the western press but to their own people, then it is easy to see the path that they are on, the decisions that they will make. and there will be decisions to our men have the ability to project power in a clear weapons. there is no doubt that is what they're doing, no doubt that is the path. yet, we have a president who is in disneyland. he is looking through at these issues and seeing a country developing advanced uranium refinements producing weapons -- the season to start producing rockets to fire weapons or the only weapons that they will use to fire our nuclear weapons throughout asia and

beyond. and a program up until recently, now they have suspended, that was to weapon is this material. and we still are in doubt as to whether they want to pursue a nuclear weapon and not. ladies and gentleman, when i thought president bush back in 2005 and 2006 about the fighting this war to the american public, but explaining to the american public what is a stake into the aeneas, i did so because i believed then as i believe now, this is an existential fight. has been for a long time. radical islam in one form or another has been around for a long time, and its borders are bloody. ladies and gentlemen, we don't have borders and more when it comes to the technology that is available for those who want to do harm.

we have all sorts of things to project power and fear, to terrorize, whether it is a simple phone clip of a beheading or a bomb going off in an unexpected place. there are no borders that protect us, and the borders that we have are not secure to protect us. we need leaders, and we need to be a movement that is sure, that is not divided. we see so much division within the republican and conservative ranks about the direction to take on all of these issues and all of these clashes, the clash of civilizations, fear. you heard bryan talk about the republican establishment say no, no. we need to a stop talking about these things. i don't know about to.

have never been involved in a race where you played defense on an issue and to put points on the board. that is so we have decided to do as an establishment republican party, simply play defense, to ignore these, to put our heads in the sand and help the these issues go away. in fact, every survey that has ever been done, the folks who have extreme positions on these issues are opponents. and yet they refuse, as bryan said to my billion dollars in advertising without a single mention of these issues. the same is true when it comes to the issues overseas ladies and gentlemen, i no there are people who think that america should just pack up and pay attention to their own problems and ignore the problems around the world and that somehow this is constitutionally provided for.

our constitution provides for limited government. does not necessarily provide for uniformed, small government. in fact, there are areas in which our government should be quite robust the limited to certain areas where government is, in fact, the only place where this responsibility lies. that, of course, is national defense. don't confuse small limited. sometimes limited means limited to certain subject areas but robust in those areas to protect our freedoms and keep us secure. and that is what i argue for command that is what we, as republicans have always argue for. understanding how they weave together to protect our liberty, limited government to do the things that are essential that government can do, providing for common

defense. and small government when it comes to areas which impose upon our freedom particularly and their religious liberty, so people always ask me, okay, if that is a game plan in the struggle, what do i do? i hear this all the time. i'm only one person. well, do you realize that if you look at the last 40 years of the united states and you look at survey after survey and people who consider themselves traditional values conservatives and progressive values liberals, there are twice as many conservative traditional values people in this country than there are liberals. yet for the past 30 or 40 years we have been losing ground. how does that happen? it happens because they are willing to fight. because they're willing to

sacrifice. because they're willing not to give up. if you look at the current conservative movement, republican party, there are issues that we're not even -- we have not even lost and we are talking about giving out. we are not even willing to fight the fight, to stand for what we say we believe in because we think, well, history is moving in a different way. history? we are the determiners of history, not history determining history. [applause] we are not to look to history, this amorphous concept, to judge us. we have somebody else that we need to pay attention to when it comes to judging this. and it is not history. [applause]

so why do we lose? is because we don't have enough brian brown and kelly shackelford who are willing to stand up and not take no, to come back and fight. we won the american revolution up because we have the most powerful army, the most weapons, not because of any of those things. we won because of that last line of the declaration of independence. we mutually pledge to each other our lives, fortunes, and our sacred honor. if we're going to win this fight here at home to protect our religious liberty, to protect the right to life, to protect the institution, the glue that holds the family together, marriage, to protect our economic liberties, then we have to be willing to make those sacrifices. we have to be willing to join together and make a difference. when i left the campaign in

2012 and april i went out and form an organization called patriot voices. i found an organization for one reason, to provide an avenue for people to get involved and to try to make a difference because ultimately that difference is made at the ballot box, but it is also made the state legislatures and the congress and the court. we have to fight the mall. but we also have to fight within the family. how many of your children have the same values and you do? how many of you have seen that slip away in your own family? how can we let that happen and still hope for a good and healthy america? how many have you have let your schools, do you know the most popular history textbook in school today is written by a marxist anti-american by the name of howard fan. is that being taught in your schools? do you know? what are we doing to protect our children and our and classrooms?

let me assure you, they're fretting. they're fighting in schools, fighting in your home, fighting in hollywood. brennan kelly were in a film . achilleas. brian is not. kelly is in a film recently did called one generation away which talks about how we're losing a religious liberty in america. i am fighting. i am fighting in my business, with in my house, the school's. unless we all do that like they do then the chance of american coming out on top has we have seen in the last 30 or 40 years is not good. what do we do? the answer to that, something. do something. now, you are here. and i am talking to the choir in many respects, but all you in the choir have an obligation and responsibility to go out and

sing solos in their own community and family and, yes, in your own business. how is it that business has gone from a place of traditional values to a place now that has codes the conduct and education in major corporations that if you do not share these values you have to go in for re-education about those lawyers. how did that happen? we let it happen. how did the bible get pushed out of schools? we let it happen. you can say, look, it was the court. it was us. the court rules against them. they come back and fight. if we are serious -- i talked to a lot of people, and they tell me, you know, i am worried, scared about the future of our country, what is happening. i see things falling apart. quit being scared and start being an activist and making things happen in america.

[applause] the first part of doing that is to elect leaders who are clear minded, has experience, and to have looked at these problems for a long time and have come down on the right side. i am talking about leaders of our party, leaders of our movement, and leaders of our government. i know that there is always a rush to say the new, the great plain and beautiful, but it is important to see how rooted these leaders are because i know we have all been fooled by many who come here to washington to be a new great leaders and turn out to be just very high profile followers. we need leaders, and you need all the accountable.

you need to understand where they are and where they're going by understanding where they have been. ladies and gentlemen, we have an opportunity in this election to do something, to get excited and to win not just the house back but the senate and do it in a big margin. let me assure you, if we do not we have two years from now of the $0.34 left 24 al by republicans. the chance of picking of seats in 2016 are pretty close to zero. so we either go all-out this time for the people that we now are going to be with us, and i mean go all-out even in places where it may not look possible. this could be a year when you just never know who could win. but the effort in people that you trust. do it again in 2016 in the primaries for all the races

that you will be dealing with. go and make sure that you get behind people that have the track record and the energy and enthusiasm to fight this battle in washington d.c. we desperately needed. thank you and god bless you.

get into did that voice? would love to have that. great to be here at the value voters summit. here we are in the sixth year of the disaster euphemistically known as the obama years. i remember last year and the year before we were worried about losing our health care. this year we are worried about losing our heads. does not seem like we are on the right path, folks. look, i have a bunch of jokes i would like to sell, but it is a serious time. we are in deep, deep trouble we are in tremendous danger. when i say we i don't mean just the united states, i mean western civilization, judeo-christian civilization. i think this is a moment in our history, probably nearly unprecedented because we are not aware yet, not fully

awake about what we're facing. if we survive it will be due to the mercy of god and his protective hands. it will be because men and women like you rise to the occasion. if those two things don't happen, france, then i think anything is possible. just a few weeks ago we mark the 13th anniversary of the attack on september september 11th. it's hard to believe 13 years already. even though it has been 13 years i bet every one of you could tell me where you were that morning if you were old enough. i was sitting next to the pentagon that morning driving into washington d.c. when i heard the unnaturally loud roar of the jet engine of that hijacked plane that just seconds later crashed in this side of the pentagon. the blast literally moving my car. i would find out later that at that very moment friends of mine died both on the

plane and at their desk and the pentagon. in the weeks and months that followed, particularly in those days right after the event, do you remember what you did? out was watching tv nonstop. wanted to give every bit of the information that i could. what did this happen? who did it? was at the first blow or were more coming? i remember being hardened because when i turned on the tv i saw crowds in berlin and london and paris and tokyo, all over the world bringing flowers to american embassies, sharing their sorrow with us. remember the scenes out of tel aviv and jerusalem, people weeping with us, israelis declaring a day of mourning with us lowering their flying along with us lowering ours. and they did that, of course, because even though they had experienced the event, not one of them, they had been through these trending campaigns of terror

time and time again. when you add up all the broken bones and their rick flash and all of the spilled blood, israelis and actually suffered worst casualties and beaded on the morning. and so they knew exactly what we were living through. i also remember some other images that i saw, and then made me angry. in gaza and the west bank, people running of their homes celebrating, dancing in the street, handing out candy to their children, shooting guns in the air. not even pulled the bodies out of the wreckage, and they were celebrating her pain and suffering. every time some reporter asked me, why don't you conservative support is real? i remind them of that day and who cried with us and to celebrate it our pain and suffering. and the days that followed,

we saw all sorts of images. was not long after that daniel pearl, the "wall street journal" reporter, captured by geodesy and the tormented on videotaping me to look into a camera and say over and over again, and as you, i am a jew before they decapitated him and said the video of his severed head all over the middle east as a recruiting tool. that is with the year doing now. what kind of evil is this? , following and let others in this. since then we have seen more be headings, the bombings in london and madrid in boston. we have seen u.s. soldiers mowed down, not in afghanistan and iraq but in fort hood in the united states with their supposed to be safe. averages. the obama administration referred to it as workplace violence.

there is breaking news today, my friend, out of oklahoma. i don't know if you have heard in are not. recent convert to islam trying to convert his co-workers, his boss warned him, you cannot do that on the job. he continued doing it. they fired him. he came back to work and cut off the head of a 54-year-old woman. that story is breaking today we have seen christians murdered across the middle east and large swaths of africa. don't robber any emergency meetings that the united nations. we have seen christian girls kidnapped and sold into sex slavery, nuns rate can be headed. his you see this story? you have to look really closely. three nuns. i think it was in mandola dubious two of them 70, 180, raped first and then be headed. local authorities say that they have no idea who did it with the motive could have been.

but i know it could not have anything to do with islam because the president told me. here in the united states synagogues spray-painted with swastikas and miami. in indiana about a month ago somebody riding on three or four church walls, verses from the carotid calling for the killing of the infidel. i saw an interview on local tv, either a pastor or priest or one of the churches. the man was befuddled. is this some sort of break? i mean, is this an effort to turn the local community against a muslim neighbors? is there really somebody in indiana that things we are all infidels and have to be killed? cirque, turn on your television set. meanwhile, in iran the

muslims to run that country believe that we are on the verge of seeing the great muslim messiah return to the world. he is supposed to come out of the well in iran command we will know him because he will conduct a great slaughter of christians and jews. in fact, it says when this messiah comes jews will hide behind trees and rocks, and that trees will shout out, the issue is hiding behind me. come and kill him. and these people are marching day-by-day toward nuclear weapons. my friends, it is not just. russia is on the march. if a year ago somebody would have told you, and next year you will see a civilian aircraft shot down over the skies of europe, either by russians or their operatives , everybody on board will be killed from a dozen nations. and the bodies will lie in

fields running for days. the president, oh my, the president was upset about this. he sent a team of investigators to get to the bottom of the did this from a to collect evidence. apparently somebody forgot to tell the russian thugs that they were supposed to let obama's investigators have access to the crash scene. you know, the president does this all the time, this would be like fdr being told about harry truman and saying, i want the names of everyone of those tyrants. as tracking down and put them on trial. obama costs and they responded by saying this is the 21st century. people don't do things. nations don't do things like this anymore. they just did it.

the question before us is not whether nations and thugs still do these things. the question before us is what are free men and women going to do? what are our leaders going to do other than play golf? [applause] president obama says this repeatedly. twenty-first century does not belong to those that destroy and kill. let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, nobody has claimed the 21st century yet. there is nothing written in stone about the 21st century. it started a little rocky, you know, with september september 11th. let me tell you, there was nothing that was determined ahead of time. there was nothing written in stone about nazism and communism and whether they would win or we would win.

history was written by strong men of both parties, men like fdr and german and jfk and ronald reagan who rose to the occasion. and we won for another reason, because those presidents and the american people and our cultural elites knew that the civilization to my judaeo-christian civilization, western civilization is worth defending. [applause] today, while our leaders show weakness abroad, obama and his allies do everything that they can to rip out of our society all of the vestiges that made this judaeo-christian civilization, our belief that liberty comes from god and has to be ordered liberty, based in virtue. that is what made us differ, and that is what the liberal

elites of this country cannot stand. ladies and gentlemen, i know nobody likes to talk directly about these things. i am under no such obligation to avoid speaking through thing. we have a president today more interested in defending the reputation of islam than he does in saving the lives of christians. [applause] [applause] >> thank you. >> you know, he said that in a speech in cairo. consider one of the responsibilities of my office as president to defend islam from unfair attacks. wouldn't you love to see the next republican nominee actually have of heart and the brain and say to him, mr. president, you know, when obama was an office for

eight years i could never find where his job description defending islam against scurrilous attacks was. though he was supposed to defend the united states of america, but that's just me. this speech this past week, people were praising that speech. i guess it is because if you hear pablum all the time, if every once in awhile there is something with a little meat to it you get all excited. this speech was filled with platitudes this is directly from the speech. the shadow of world war that existed at the founding of the united nations has been lifted. no, it hasn't. it is the exact opposite. the possibility of a world war is growing. it is not shrinking, it is growing because of the instinctive weakness of president obama. our enemies --

[applause] our enemies are in bold and command our friends don't trust us. look, let me run you really. >> through obama's foreign-policy, just some of the highlights. he began the administration with the apology to work. we save the world from communism and nazism. apparently the president thought that we need to give the world and apology for something. i still have not figured it out. remember the iranian dissidents? did not lift a finger for them. i release out of the white house saying, this really complicates our efforts to reach out to the iranian government. this instability could not come under worst time that when the pro-american governments cut in trouble, what did the president do? pulled the rug out from underneath that government as quickly as he could and turned it over to the tender mercies of the walls of the muslim brotherhood.

that is what he did. he and his secretary of state left our men to die in benghazi. by the way, mrs. clinton, you are not going to get a free ride on this. you cannot implement the policies and then run as if you were opposed to the policies. we're going to call you out. [applause] >> the president regularly berates our friends in israel for building homes for israeli jews in jerusalem. jews were living in jerusalem, ladies and gentlemen, when washington d.c. was still swamp. no big deal. washington d.c. is a swap today. the president said this --

first of all, he is the most anti-israel president. narrowly winning the title away from jimmy carter, by the way. i'll always love reminding jimmy carter whenever i get a chance that the first family of christendom was used. mary and joseph, they were jews. and the disciples were all jews. in that famous biblical figure, john the baptist, was not a baptist. he was a jew. [laughter] [applause] so good grief. my time is running out. and just getting warmed up here. here is what the president said. the violence in golfing the region today has made too many israelis ready to abandon the hard work of peace. he actually said that my friends, nobody wants peace more than the israelis.

but you can't -- you have to have a peace partner. and they have not abandoned the cause of peace. they have abandoned the possibility that the president of the united states will ever and his hostility toward them and begin to stand up and defend the most reliable ally the united states ever had. [applause] killed christians in churches, which they did it continue to do every sunday, the president's protest is such a whisper of. you have got to be on the same putting green he is to hear what he's saying. [laughter] when christian girls were a doctor than soldan the sex slavery the obama administration's response was have stag bring back our

girls. guess what, folks? it ends up to my taking the picture, she could send out-tank from the that is not a foreign policy. i don't see the girls. i hate to imagine. we have been sending ash tax. and then there was that moment when obama leaned over to russian president met him and said, tell flawed i will be a lot more flexible after the election. he got his flexibility, the people of the ukraine that the stiff boot of a russian soldier on their necks. not a very good deal there. ladies and gentlemen, the truth is that it this very moment in all sorts of places around the world there are evil man, many of

them who brag that they worship death. and they are feverishly, seriously, intently working on ways to bring to you and yours sorrows greater than the sorrows the have already experienced. does anybody think barack obama is up to the challenge of course, of course not. so let me leave you with this. we have our problems, but there is still a deep reservoir in his country of the values that were at our founding. it is still there. it is hard to see some times, but it is their command it is much more powerful than we think. needs leaders. we saw those values come to the four. i want go through a complete description, but just think about one or two things. the policeman and firemen that ran into the towers even though in many cases their officers were yelling at them, don't go win. the buildings could collapse. they went in to save people like you.

the folks on that plane that crashed in pennsylvania, not marines, navy seals, businessmen going on their early morning trips to my students climactic college, families on vacation, in the middle of a nightmare. the pilot and co-pilot dead, several flight attendants murdered. a jewish passenger killed by the guy sitting next to him who was one of the hijackers the passengers get to the back of the plane. what are we going to do? an argument breaks out. sit down. we have to fight back. they disagree. somebody says, let's vote. i love that. on the day they attack our constitutional republic, what do americans do? the vote. everybody in favor of fighting back, they raise their hands. everybody in favor of taking seats, the ones who wanted to fight back one. they grabbed whatever they could as a makeshift weapons and a ran down the aisle of

that era of the plane into the teeth of men armed with box cutters. can you imagine what that scene must have looked like? and they brought that plane down and asparagus greater suffering. -- and they stared us greater suffering. and then there are all the young men and women that answered the volunteer call and went off and fought as courageously as you could have ever ask them to do. and now they're watching a political leaders figure a way. and if that is not enough inspiration for you there are the reports that have kept me awake the last couple of nights, hard to confirm the mall. you may have heard about them. but today i -- isis has

taken another christian area and they are going door to door in christian homes, and they are grabbing their children and they are telling those children as they put a neck to the @booktv knife to their neck, denounced jesus or we will kill you. and we are getting reports from missionaries and others in house after house there are dead christian iraqi children who will not deny their savior ladies and gentleman, love your god. and your family the stiffener spine pitted the of stout heart.

clear your mind and get ready to do very difficult things because that is the only way we're going to save this precious nation, this glowing city on a hell. god bless you. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you. thank you. god bless you all. thank you. ♪ >> thank-you. a powerful speech always a pleasure to have him as part of the team here.

it may surprise you that there are now 23 states that allow medicinal marijuana, two states with recreational marijuana. we know where that is going. you have to question if this is a good idea. coming to talk about it is rep. fleming who is also a medical doctor. he has worked tirelessly on a balanced budget and perfecting religious liberty in the military. to talk about this issue would you please welcome congressman, dr. john flemming. [applause] ♪ >> thank you. great to be with you last see some energy and some excitement here today. welcome to washington. of course as a member of congress i cannot wait to get out of washington.

my friends, we are here today to discuss the things that bind us together, issues concerning our culture and civilization, the threats that may loom before us, among these life, marriage, the family, the role of god and the government in our lives. in order to better understand the place of social values in society we often talk about the end result of poor decisions and will we can do to pick up the pieces of broken families, broken lives, and broken bodies. unfortunately we often ignore the root causes of poor decision making. i want to focus your attention today on one of the major root causes of our social problems in the hope that you will join me in taking on a difficult but solvable problem, drug abuse, particularly marijuana plan is now, when i talk about marijuana i would love to talk about sex

your things and religious liberty, but listen to this, this is very important and fundamental at this point in time. very simply, marijuana is trending toward a socially and legally accepted drug despite the important information out coming to light. some years ago as a physician i wrote a book of the subjects based on van data that has since been corroborated by recent studies. here is the top line, marijuana use is growing rapidly among teens and children for legal acceptance acting as a powerful catalyst. this will have devastating consequences for years to come on our families and society. let me catch up with what science has confirmed, the human brain has not fully matured until the early to mid 20's. my wife says is much later than that and has since.

the brain continues to prune and reprogramming itself through the formative years of life based on environmental stimuli. the average person's first exposure to drugs is usually in the early teens and sometimes even younger. a younger child or teen experiments with an illegal drug, marijuana being the most common, the more likely he or she will become addicted. the corollary to this is a law directing waster experiment with illegal drugs the more likely you're she will avoid a lifelong addiction. was that developing brain adapts itself to drug abuse and addiction the battle to escape addiction will be lifelong. though some level of management recovery is possible, backsliding into drug use again and again his moral rule than the exception. ..

>> don't know the facts i'm going to share with you today. if all of the drugs kids use legal and illegal, marijuana remains the drug choice. drug rehabilitation centers and for most marijuana addiction is by far the most common diagnosis of teens treated in their facilities. as you know, there has been a trend over the past few decades

to first medicinal lies, then be criminalized and then legalize marijuana in various states around the country. while pop was part of a marginalized culture in the 1960s, and yes i'm old enough to remember those days in the 1960s, it is rapidly becoming a mainstream accepted behavior is pulling in the relaxation of laws in many states. and how did this happen? as early as the 1970s it was suggested that by eating cancer patients could benefit from smoking marijuana they beat to assist somehow without any real science this morph into the idea that marijuana is actually a safe, natural treatment for many illnesses and is otherwise harmless and not addictive. 23 states and the district of columbia have now legalized medicinal use of marijuana. such it is that last year there

were more medical marijuana dispensaries in colorado to starbucks and mcdonald's combined. areas of california were also reported more pop dispensaries didn't starbucks coffee shops. is it really that many sick people in california? dare i go there? it's like marijuana became a magic tour all but is it likely a dangerous snake were a end a financial interest. in colorado and washington have legalized marijuana for recreational use and as i and others would argue, the states have taken these steps based on commonly held myths. doctor kevin who advised the

bush and obama administration drug policy offices has written an excellent book on these myths. it's called reefer sanity. i highly recommend it. here are some of the myths. number one, marijuana as a medicine. after decades of study we have found no beneficial medical use for the raw marijuana plant. they schedule the drugs under the federal law. it is true that the active ingredient can make cancer patients feel better. but this is much worse if we achieved through the use of synthetic thc. which your doctor can prescribe for you very safely and legally. there are also claims that an oral extract from marijuana plant box containing the active component of thc may be useful in certain the seizures. they will approve it for the use of the supervision of a

physician. if it is proven safe and effective. number two, marijuana is not addictive. yes, it is addictive, folks. this is a complete myth. there is a a well-documented withdrawal syndrome that any treatment center employee can describe for you. marijuana users can face intense difficulties getting off this drug. the next one, marijuana is harmless. first marijuana smoke contains contains target part of it is four times more potent than tobacco which is known to cause lung disease and cancer. so how can it be good for you to smoke something that's more dangerous than cigarettes? second, recent sophisticated brain imaging studies show profound abnormal changes to the brain and even casual marijuana users. other studies show a spike in auto accidents and suicides relating to marijuana use. in colorado they have pot

induced cookies and candies mainly with dangerously low high-level stuff thc. a poison center in colorado found a 50% spike in calls for people having adverse reactions to marijuana. in adults and children. it's naïve to think it could be used in candy and won't end up in the hands of teenagers and even younger children. employee drug tests in colorado have shown an increase of more than 20% positive marijuana test from one year to the next. raising serious issues of safety and productivity in the workplace similar numbers were found among the tests of drivers in washington state. and wherever the numbers of drivers involved in fatal crashes tested positive for marijuana use -- i'm 1994 to 2011. the report released in august to the of the number of drivers testing positive for pot and involved in traffic fatalities

increased 100% between 2007 and 2012. do you want to be driving among them blacks i don't. and i certainly don't want my family driving. my wife served for several years as a constant worker, you know, the court-appointed special advocate. her job was to assist the supports of being in a thicket of children and virtually always the central problem in the home was addiction of one if not both. number four, this is the same marijuana use in the 1960s. the truth is that the marijuana grown today contains almost four times as much thc than it did in previous generations. the thc concentration and was 4%. there are many people in prison because of simple marijuana use. what a myth.

they can make it clear that when marijuana users are arrested for serious crimes marijuana physicians may be an added charge. people also pleaded down from the severe charges selling it as debating marijuana to just a simple position. typically the user of marijuana interested in appearing court and not in prison and often times directed towards some type of treatment. number six, marijuana produces a lot of revenue to the state treasury. you will hear this more and more the colorado experiment hasn't brought in an avalanche of revenue in the black market remains as robust as ever. any increase in tax revenues will be offset in higher social

cost. already an increase in homeless people moving to colorado has been reported. as the social problems and crimes increase, so will the burden on the treasury to provide for broken families, broken minds and broken bodies. finally, number seven marijuana isn't a gateway drug folks. again, studies show otherwise. teens who use marijuana early in life are far more likely to become addicted to even more dangerous drugs like crack, meth and i mean andrew and. all addicting drugs are gateway drugs. who told me this? drug addicts. marijuana happens to be the frequently first used drugs. now my libertarian friends argue taxpayers and society in general shouldn't make or enforce the laws that dictate to them how they should behave or what they should do with their lives when

it comes to drugs. my answer is it is the same taxpayers who will be required to take care of you and your family once the drugs have led to your broken families, broken lives and broken bodies. if you truly want a smaller government, then you will oppose the legalization of marijuana. [applause] have i convinced you yet? very good. why should you care now and what should you do about the growing wave of acceptance of the use across this country it is important to remember as marijuana becomes more acceptable in certain states, complacency builds and the fear of it is a harmful fix and legal

consequences begin to dissipate. the net effect is more kids using drugs. it ends up in homes, folks. the more acceptable and less fear. and the more likely it will be in homes maybe not yours but it's going to be in your neighbor's home. studies show that the addiction rate for those that begin smoking marijuana as an adult is one in e. 11. for teens, it is one in six. and what is the impact on society? has been well documented that every one of our social dear i've directly or indirectly from drug addiction, spousal abuse the child abuse, motor vehicle accidents, suicides, mental illness and failed marriages. they all can be linked to drug addiction. too often there is a link back to our good friend, marijuana.

in the denver a 48 year man will soon stand trial for shooting his wife while she was on the phone with the police panicked at his erratic behavior. it was a result of congestive marijuana. the only substance reported to be found in his bloodstream was thc. earlier this year a 19-year-old college student jumped to his death after amber after eating a single 10-dollar thc infused cookie. friends who were with him said the young man began acting crazy, hallucinating and smashing things in the hotel room before running outside and tumbling over the railing. some have argued that those are just anecdotal examples. we will undoubtedly see more examples with the increasing availability and acceptance of marijuana. my friends, with marijuana and

other addicting drugs determined by society to be more acceptable and legal, we are certainly to see more broken families, broken lives, and broken bodies. and death. be prepared as this will lead to a greater burden on taxpayer-funded social services and an increasing entitlement state to help this family destroyed by addiction. that's why the time for us to speak up on this issue is now. and i would urge you to join me in this fight to stop the medicinal position that the decriminalization and legalization of marijuana in the state houses across america as well as an hour on -- our own federal government. thank you and god bless. [applause]

>> thank you. i will ask the members of my panel to come on out on stage and join me here where your name card is. i'm going to introduce them individually when i gets to each of them. one at a time. the institution of marriage has been under stress for at least two generations now. the sexual revolution took sexual relations out of the sacred precincts of the marital bedroom and into any bedroom and increasingly into the public square if south. no-fault divorce undermined the permanence of the marriage bond, cohabitation has increasingly become a substitute for marriage. the severing of the once powerful bonds which linked sex and procreation to marriage has now reached its culmination in

the effort to change the very definition of marriage itself. the idea that marriage is intrinsically by definition the union of one man and one woman, which would have been taken for granted for almost the entire history of the western civilization has gone from being universally self-evident to being in the eyes of many including some federal judges utterly incomprehensible. last year the supreme court issued a ruling in the windsor case striking down the federal definition of marriage as the union of a man and a woman for all purposes under federal law according to the defense marriage act. but they dodged the issue of the state definitions of marriage by not issuing a ruling on the merits regarding california's proposition eight.

subsequent challenges a state by state across the country however have used the rationale of the ruling to challenge the law and in many cases constitutional amendment about the people. each of our guests today offer a unique perspective on that the ear replaceable institution of marriage. i'm going to turn first to eric teetsel, executive director of the manhattan declaration, the call of christian conscience on life, marriage and religious liberty that was founded by chuck olsen in 2009. he works to make sure that the declaration serves not only as a manifesto, but a movement that continues to inform the public about these issues. he worked at colorado christian university before coming to washington to serve with the values and capitalism project at the american enterprise institute.

last year eric was still one of the leaders profiled under the headline young opponents of marriage undaunted by battles ahead. please welcome eric teetsel. [applause] i'm going to start with a broad question for you. why does marriage matter to society? i was thinking about the panel and realizing it was five years ago that they tasked him with offering the first draft of what came to be known as the manhattan declaration as you said the manifesto but a wake-up call to the church to be the church on the most important issue of the time, life, marriage and religious liberty. and i thought that i would read just a bit of what the manhattan has to say about this question.

it's the first institution of society and indeed it is the institution of which all other human institutions have their very foundation. marriage is the original and most important institution for sustaining the health, welfare and education of all persons in a society. it plays a central role in god's story for the world in which we live. that fact i think is underscored by what for me is about what is coming to the question of marriage and the bible begins with a wedding and it ends with a wedding in a city between christ and his church.

of the millennial generation has seen high levels of divorce and the parents generation, yet graduating high school students are the surveys continue to tell us overwhelmingly that they desire marriage to be part of their future. in spite of the poor modeling they may have seen in many cases what does this desire tell us about the powerful good of marriage can be. i suppose it tells us that things could be worse. there is something deep inside even if the generation has no idea what marriage is. it has no idea why marriage matters and it has no understanding our conception of why the biblical meaning of marriage should have anything to do with our walls understanding of marriage. but yet they still somewhere deep down inside have a sense

that i should get married. that's a good thing. unfortunately they are not getting married. that is a fourfold increase by 1960. the generation before them has exactly the less of a legacy of marriage for my generation to grab onto. the same-sex marriage movement is only the latest in what has been a decades long buried down in our understanding of the role of marriage and family and society. so we need to fight against that but it is a much broader project. >> great. and tell people the website for the manhattan declaration. >> thanks. the manhattan iteration can be done online,

ww.manhattandeclaration.org. we hope you'll share it with others. >> this is something everybody can sign. the more powerful a statement it makes to our society, so i would encourage you to go to that site and sign the manhattan declaration. let me move on to the next guest who is a member of congress represented in her second term representing the fourth congressional district here in washington. she previously served three terms as a member of the missouri house of representatives she and her husband own a company that sells farm equipment and lives with her daughter on a working farm in cass county missouri. i still remember so well the first time i enact this is hard here at the values voters summit and it was before she had elected to congress and she was

selling and promoting the book she has written on christians running for office. it is really great to see someone like this having put those principles into action and being elected to congress. one of the key questions about marriage is what is marriage the second key question is who decides. missouri is one of the states that amended its constitution to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. you were very active in that campaign. tell us why you thought it was important for the people of your state to act in defense of marriage?

>> that was after the supreme court decision in massachusetts where a few unelected unaccountable judges overruled the will of the people in massachusetts and is that we know better what the definition of marriage as is and we don't care what we think about it. so missouri's legislature as well as many other state assemblies across our country were are very proactive and putting the measure on the ballot. it's what we wanted in marriage and we have to be the spokesperson for that campaign and ended the campaign and ended up helping with that and it was quite an experience because our election was in august. i believe there were ten other states that had their election in november and so missouri became a focal point for the entire national debate at that time and even though we were outspent 22 to one and even though the other professional organizations who were opposed to the amendment flooded the state with professional offices and staff and we were just a

grassroots volunteer organization, our voters, our citizens came out that november and we spoke loud and clear with 71% of the votes that we think it is wise public policy for marriage to be between a man and a woman. [applause] in the last year we we've seen a number of federal judges voted to strike down the state definitions of marriage. this has raised concerns for a lot of us about the ballot of power between the states and the federal government and between the three branches of government. so, as a legislator, as a member of the legislative branch, what do you think about the role that judges are playing in this? are they taking authority that doesn't really belong to complex him absolutely. according to the constitution is judicial branch is supposed to enforce the law and it is up to the legislative branch to legislate the law and as far as

that goes they are supposed to execute the law and if we need to get back to all of that and certainly in the case of people across this country speaking like missouri, the people have the right to determine these policies. that's why we acted ten years ago put it in our constitution and that's where it needs to stay with the power of the people, not some unelected judges somewhere. now the laws being challenged have been passed across the country and we had the first hearing yesterday where that was heard in court. and i am just praying and hoping that missouri's judges will rule like judge feldman in louisiana that said social decisions should be decided by the people and by judges. so, we are hoping for that. [applause] >> as i mentioned in the introduction last year the u.s.

supreme court struck down a portion of the federal defense of marriage act that had required the federal government to recognize only the union of one man and one woman as a marriage. the obama administration has been aggressive in pushing this recognition in the widest at the broadest interpretations of the ruling. but several pieces of legislation has been introduced in congress seeking to address some of the concerns people have about religious liberty and so forth. can you talk a little bit about those? spinnakers a couple i'm cosponsoring. first is the marriage and religious liberty act. and it hopes to address some of the concerns of the federal government coming after private businesses and nonprofit organizations and withholding federal support for them. and that says the federal government cannot in any way

harm an individual or business entity because they uphold marriage and that means they can't withhold loans or grants or contracts or other federal programs programs businesses would be interested in and then there is another bill that deals with foster care and an adoption system and i worked on the adoption issues for many years and have a strong support for that. we have 400,000 children right now in foster care with about 25% which would be around 100,000 that are available for adoption and wanting a home. yet we have the federal government going after private foster care adoption agencies and withholding their tax exempt status or their contracts with the government because they simply believe that those children deserve to be with the father and the mother. and that is wrong. so we have introduced the child welfare provider inclusion act which would prevent the federal government from being able to do that and it would make sure that

every agency that wants to see these kids get home have that opportunity without federal interference. [applause] now, the next guest, aaron and melissa klein are not like the other panelists. they are not elected officials, not theologians, not policy analysts. they are or were the owners of a bakery in oregon called sweet cakes by melissa. [applause] they already know you. [laughter] i did some research and preparing for this. i went on the nexus news search engine and putting sweet cakes by melissa and searched for the last two years into and the very first article that came up was

two years ago the paper in portland oregon that said this in their travel section. they said further east on main in oregon, a small strip mall is home to sweet cakes by melissa know for its complex wedding cakes. melissa also has cupcakes in flavors like red velvet and cinnamon, chocolate ribbon. in bold should, you've earned it now unfortunately, the other news articles about them were not quite as flattering because when they returned to the news it was because they had joined the growing number of christian business people who faced the choice of sacrificing either their conscience or their business in the face of demand by homosexual activists and now by the state of oregon that they participate in the celebration of the same-sex wedding by making a customized cake for the

event. before we talk about this case that you're involved in. can you tell us about the process of designing and producing a wedding cake the process that you use this isn't just a matter of pulling the cake off the shelf is that? >> know it's definitely not. with our business, everything we do this from scratch. and it's more than just throwing ingredients into the oven and throwing frosting on it. for our wedding we sit down with the bride and groom were sometimes the mother and the bride and for me personally when i would sit down with them, i just would want to know everything about her wedding. i would want to know about her flowers, her dress, the centerpieces, her colors, the way her hair was going to be.

i wanted to see her ring. i even would talk about where are you going on your honeymoon. i would use all this information to help me design the perfect cake that reflected them as a couple. [applause] sorry guys don't mean to get emotional it just really touches my heart. but anyway, i would sit with them and i would sit and sketch designs and sometimes it would take several different designs until we got the perfect cake that match them. sometimes it takes two hours of sitting down in a cake tasting.

individuals need to do their cake -- i'm sorry. [applause] i would just feel so honored to be able to be part of such an amazing and a special day. i'm sorry. >> is there anything that you want to add? >> even before we opened up a storefront we had our pastor and the church and we dedicated the shop. i mean, the work that was done, everything was to the glory of god. [applause] really what it came down to is

that she has a god-given talent to create a work of art to celebrate the union between two people. and in the face of what the bible says that it should be i just couldn't in good conscience agree to do it. go ahead and give them a hand. [applause] i do have to tell you unfortunately there is ongoing litigation over the situation. so, if they are somewhat limited in what they can say about the actual incident, the actual interaction with the people who complained about them, that you were not only attacked on social media and in the press, but eventually legal action was taken against you. can you tell us about what they

did and what the state has done and what you were forced to do as a result? >> up to this point they felt a complaint with the bureau of industry. that's now gone into the process where they found evidence that suggested that we discriminated where actually like you said, facing the litigation at this point should be over the next couple of weeks as far as the court date. you know, in the end of the boycotting, the harassment. they didn't just press it, they harassed other wedding vendors that we did business with and if cut off our referral system. we had to shut the shop down. melissa now those very limited cakes out of the house. we are facing in excess of $150,000 in damages just for simply standing by my first amendment rights. on top of that, the state has actually told me that speaking about this could be construed as

advertising. i would discriminate and could be fined additionally for that. >> talk to us about your -- you made reference to your conscience. what -- how does it make you feel to be basically told that you have to violate your conscience? >> for me personally to be fooled they are going to force me to convey a message other than what i wanted to convey, it is a slap in the face of the constitution. it's a violation of my conscience and of my religious freedom. it's horrible to see your own government are doing this to you. >> how can we pray for you going forward? >> first of all we have five kids. we suffered some of financial

hardships because of this. god has god has been good and has provided up to this point. pray for our attorneys, we have an excellent term of attorneys fighting this and we plan to appeal any decision that would be contrary to standing up for our religious freedom and pray for wisdom for them and honestly the commissioner has made it clear at this point that he believes that we have broken the law. he said we have religious freedoms but we don't have the right to break the law. and in saying that he has already declared ordeal. i would say pray for him, pray for the changing of his mind. >> i should have asked this earlier but i just wanted to clarify for the audience this isn't really about sexual orientation per se you have served and customers. >> the girl that came in was a returned customer.

she bought and paid for her mother's wedding cake. she returned wanting a wedding cake. it's never been about sexual orientation. >> it's just about marriage. >> it's about marriage and the event. >> let's give a big hand to erin and melissa. [applause] [applause]

thank you so much i can't tell you how that makes me feel. >> our final guest has a tough act to follow. [laughter] i expect the same ovation. doctor jerry johnson is the president and ceo of the national religious broadcasters located here in the washington, d.c. area. their mission is to advance biblical truth to promote media excellence and to defend free speech. doctor johnson previously served as the president of the college in dallas texas and in addition to his work and education, he has also pastor of the churches in texas and colorado. doctor johnson is married and he and his wife have two children. please welcome doctor jerry johnson. [applause]

doctor johnson, since you are involved in the media broadcasting, the first question that i want to ask you is what role do you think the media has played in this campaign to redefine marriage >> it's huge and i think we should go back to 2008 when the president was elected the first time in his speech. you should remember he was to become a rich, poor and inserted speedy -- gay and straight. somewhere in the presidency he switched from gay and straight to lgbt. i don't know if anyone has marked the switch, now it is lgbt and straight isn't even in the mix. but you've got five. i was on a website of the the other day and there were 20 different identities, orientation style that some

would want to identify. the mainstream media keeps repeating this, writing it into scripts, repeating the lingo, and it is affecting us. that is the thing i want to say. be very careful how you talk about these issues because part of the debate is in the language itself. >> what role can the christian media play in publicizing the case for the natural definition of marriage? >> we can do a better job than we have been doing and one of the things we talk about is when it comes to the first amendment, use it or lose it. so if you are on the radio or television or do you have a blog or do a podcast, talk about this. if you are a pastor preach about this. talk about natural marriage, traditional marriage, historical marriage.

that's very important. you can also come to my panel discussion tomorrow because we have been talking about the fact that in canada, you know, sermons are turned in on wednesday for editing. and we have a canadian that will be here tomorrow to talk about a major broadcaster and on thursday they can make the corrections and on friday if they haven't changed it they run last week's sermons. so, this is right next-door and the have not adopted to live under some kind of self-imposed sharia law issue. we have the first amendment freedom to speak and exercise and we should use it. >> very good. thank you. [applause] i mentioned that before you were the president of the a college, you had a career in higher

education. so my last question for you is what you think we need do you think we need to be educating the younger generation about the importance of marriage and to the young christian to defend the public square. >> we have to challenge about of these assumptions. young people always want to be on the cutting edge and so one of the main arguments you will hear is you don't want to be on the wrong side of history let's take that for a moment. it's not about history. it's about the future. they are not talking of history they are talking about a future to be. or maybe they are talking about this number this year were the last ten years. history is on our side. the last hundreds of years of american history our culture has recognized traditional, natural marriage. that has been the cultural norms. go beyond that judeo-christian history.

in roman number one he didn't quote the passage that we often hear. so often it's true if there but paul went back to genesis number one and said this choice is the rejection of the creator and the created order, the natural order. you use the word natural and that is genesis number one. he made it a male and male and female and so we are talking about thousands of years of christian heritage here and what we do know is the cultures that have chosen this path in the past have not ended while and the future is what they are talking about, not the past. so i think we've got to be biblical and clear and practical and above all, we do have to talk about it and let's talk about protecting natural

marriage. i couldn't have said it better myself. please give a big hand to the panel. thank you. [applause] outstanding. thank you so much that was terrific. ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to introduce to you one of the most courageous women i've ever heard of a never known and certainly. it's like top truck yellow with holy water when you drop the name sarah palin.

if you were to take a look at the monitors and then we will meet sarah palin. >> across the country every day americans are standing up and speaking out. there is more than enough reason she is family oriented, very honest and says it like it is. >> she has our soldiers in her heart and we have her. >> the heart of america is a good town just like this one. the blessings of liberty for

people to get engaged. you are america. she has at all, her courage and strength. we need to fight an aggressive fight. >> she is fearless. it's been a couple ai can inspire others to affect positive change. >> the work isn't being done yet >> solutions come to you and america's hope is in you. let's do what we know. and how are the people of america. we've got to do this together. >> i had the privilege of introducing my good friend the

original mother grizzly. ♪ ♪ thank you very much. thank you very much. ♪ ♪ thank you so much thank you very much. it is an honor to get to be here with all of you and i just want to take some time here to thank you for your boldness and courage and/or ignoring what the media does to you and a lot of us so often. you are strong and america you and needs your voice. as of today to share some of that and to empower us all and

inspire us all and to enlarge the ranks, i want to take the time to thank you. being here truly it is an honor and speaking to americans who give more and volunteer more and serve more and do all of those things behind the scenes that make america so exceptional you are the americans that the media loves to hate. but, you know, i think there is a book out there that maybe some of them just haven't really understood, and in it it is considered a pure joy. my sisters and brothers, when you suffer trials many times, and consider the trials the media dumps on you is the most joyful in washington. [applause] with so much going on in the world and in the country is for us to do all that we can in

order to effect positive change. time is short so are you ready to fight back and get back on the right track? 's time. it's time to charge against the imperial president and into the self liberal agenda use strong man. it's also time to expand our ranks and inspire others. i think that we have all seen what is up ahead. so it's time to stand like the country's future depends on it because it does. take time to rejoice. in two years it's going to be the end of an error, the obama error. [applause] all of that hope and change stuff that just did not work, not even a smidgen.

remember the greek columns in the stadiums full of thinking fans and the dreamweaver stuff promising its going to chill out and we have seen keep calm. you can keep your health care but where are we now? we are so over it, over the false promises of the oratory and the utopia that man was going to create on earth. if only we could understand what they were doing. no, we are over that and we are ready to get back to work, america, and we are ready to get back to the core values that made america great. one promised the president has to ask us is the one thing that we really must undo to save our

country. we didn't need this fundamental transformation of america. we need the fundamental restoration of all that is good or strong and free that made america so great. the core values of courage and fortitude in the generosity and hard work. they can be what it is that fools us all together again. again, all americans rich and poor, young and old, every race and background. it's time to end the politics of division, the politics of demographics and identity groups and the tactics of distraction sold the status quo got to go united we will be able to stand because here is what they've done. peace out of touch command and control control elitists that have been running the show.

you know they used to rail against the big brother government. it's to play the politics of personal destruction against anyone that they would deem to be a threat in their power. and they distract from one scandal after another knowing there are so many that you can't keep up with all of them. so no one is ever held accountable from the irs corruption to you being spied on to benghazi to bailouts to the war was bad but barack obama's bombs for the strategic that was the thought of on the back nine. goodness sake. our honor the military when we talk about the national security

issues our honor to military on behalf of all americans who do support you and we honor you and respect you and on behalf of all americans that feel like i do to your commander-in-chief, while we will salute him. [applause] i haven't learned how to salute to the marines. [laughter] it's time to end the politics of division. it's time for the politics of the values and i don't want anybody to be afraid or ashamed of the core values that we are here celebrating. what are they? truth is a value? i know all about the difference between a lie is that they can

tell about you. well, nearly every day. i know my family sees something in the paper that goodness gracious, we would never have know about this had we not read it in the paper, you know? [applause] splattered in "the new york times." i learned the other day that i am in the middle of another divorce, or again the same divorce. i read it, it must be true. a picture ran in a liberal blog. that's where it started. it is a picture of me after a workout and i didn't have my ring on. while i rarely wear a ring especially in alaska. chalking it chopping was or butchering a news or something. by the way what the heck business is it of the liberal

haters anyway? why are they so intolerant? he is winterizing and by the way he sends his best. he wasn't able to be here and it is true he had one more flight. he is winterizing the plane and i'm helping him. i caught the headline that was that day in the media and we have been together since high school so i predict what he's going to say. so, this time after reading the headline about the divorce responded like is it the same day wrote last time, is it still the same $20 million well, write

me the check. [laughter] at this point what difference does it make? we are used to it. the sun will come up tomorrow. we expect it. and see you are there that's when we have each other's back and connect to this because it is what happens to you the lives they tell about you calling you the intolerant ones and that charge of being racist. i speak of the most most standard group in america today. join me in telling the mainstream media that we wear your scorns with pride. the lie is that you tell about us you can't defeat our arguments, so all you can do this change the subject. so we win.

[applause] and pulling the race card, how much longer do you think they are going to -- it's not even smart when one simply wants the government to live within its means and not access and beyond not to mortgage our kids future and that being for today's selfish wants. because of that we are racist? but isn't smart as when they try to slap that on colonel allen west and doctor ben carson and raffaella and ted cruz and my husband. no, those truly prejudiced folks who screamed racism are just ended the debate. reload with truth, which i know

it's an endangered species, said the 1400 pennsylvania avenue anyway. the media's favorite president, he just can't stop telling lies. he just said that the islamic state isn't islamic. do you know who that's news to? the islamic state. there are thousands of muslims who joined. if the islamic state was not islamic, why does it have such a pill around, you guessed it, the muslim world. like jonah goldberg asked then why do we give them the koran's when we imprison them? heads-up, it's coming, terrorists attacked and now they

are only caused by youtube. americans can handle the truth and fact we crave the truth. ignorance and deception, they are the enemies of democracy. so, we can begin. by the way, we can survive this president. the question is can we survive the people that voted for him a second time. [applause] it's the truth that will set us free and freedom, that's another value. under the three strikes obama agreed the nations business is shackled, repression and corruption. for instance the most powerful agency, the irs decides that independent party patriots all the sudden they are the enemy of the people. and the irs decides if needed to know the content of the pro-life

group prayers. and it would conduct two years of massive burdensome audits of the most loving and giving families in america. our adoptive parents. they would audit. they were targeted. the one population that most closely examined and to harass our government, those are the people that would extend their hearts and our homes to the orphans and the downtrodden and the helpless. how about the irs? how about this irs to advance liberty and justice for all when you target americans right back at you. do you think it is time to abolish the irs? [applause] ..
