liberty and justice for all. you secured it for us. and you encourage to america's finest to hang in there and keep fighting for it. so liberty and justice for all, even for those who we would disagree with. it is an inherent, god-given passion and the need to be free. he created less with that drive to be free. friends, we, in this room, we know weight. we live it. we are the liberty movement. we, the people. you, men and women serving in the military. and look at the representation of our military here in this room. you have secured the movement of the brides of united states citizens, to dream into thinking to believe that to do. god put dreams in new. you have to go get them. that is how you live life vibrantly with no regrets. you need freedom to do that. we are not afraid of liberty

because we know that in a free and open debate our common sense , ethical, fair ideas went. that is why they are afraid, desperate and divisive. end you are there a threat to. you value life. you value equal opportunity, and it scares the budgie's is out of them because they know they cannot argue against those things. finally is kurds that is of value. you will be will to hear about the sudanese christians who refused to renounce her faith and with her life on the line and a children's lives on the line the anchor held for her and she explained that her face was her strength. literally in chains for the gospel.

forced to give birth in chains. and she would give testimony for the rest of the world to see what real courage is. it is her strength. coming from god and she is not hesitant to share that with the world. and so thankful that this group will take the time to honor this weekend. and also at -- [applause] that is so admirable. also we have our fellow american pastors. remember -- i am sure the you have heard over the last couple of years because this is his two years anniversary being imprisoned, still imprisoned in iran because he is a christian. he shares letters from his prison cell, letters that every three americans should read so that we do not take for granted what it is that we have here. his courage.

not this is seen throughout the world as christians face in this deadly wave of persecution driven from their homes, those being sold at slavery to marked for death and this full-scale ethnic cleansing that is happening before our eyes. yet they stand firm. the anchor holds. and the least that we can do is stand with them with courage. france, the accuser was saying they you are the devices front half. the media trying to say that our basic core values divide . hal can truth and liberty and opportunity and carriage and life, do they divide? only under screwed up orwellian would they be considered something to decide.

don't be ashamed to proclaim your values and to let them. we are the movement that says yes, yes to time tested truth, great virtue, value, and approaching elections we will support great leaders that are hammering out and working so hard and the restoration agenda to break this country free again from our failed liberal agenda, defeating crony capitalism and respecting in supporting , again, our armed forces the -- so that we may have peace through red, white, and booze strengthen the value, the sanctity of innocent life for children and not seen as disposable and babies as punishment, our own president refer to -- children of the best ingredients in this misstep world. why in the world would you want to get rid of them? [applause]

so let's appoint leaders who are not afraid of truth and will fight for it as was worthy of the great nation. so don't let them get you down. america needs you, your energy, conference, voice. we do need to expand our ranks. so going on profit of doom and fear that as messengers of a vibrant life and real hope we are value voters, and our values were our founders values. they are america's values. and our message is the message that america wants and needs to hear. so as we fundamentally restore america, keep pace in that. keep faith in the american dream and sherry because the message resonates, and it has since that band of brothers dumped tea in the

boston brothers, we can be optimistic as they were. we can be optimistic about the future of our one nation because we are under god. so stand up and stiffen your spine. the best is yet to come. thank you for what it is that you do and what you put up with. god bless you. got bless the united states of america.

sarah palin, who i absolutely adore, said a minute ago, asked how long do you think the democrats will play the race card? and i know how considered she is. she was just giving me a segue into my speech about eternal issues. [laughter] there will be no cessation of their playing the race card. and i have to apologize for seamlessly promoting my book i know nothing else. please allow me to discuss this book today with you. and i will try not to be too self congratulatory. and why did i write this book? well, i have studied the bible for years and years. i became a believer 20 or so years ago. i did not become a believer

setting this book as some people mistakenly understood. i had dinner with some friends in the both of whom are skeptics, one of whom is more efficient than the other. palin's see any rational person can be a christian. added not to a very good job of putting myself. i was respectful enough. i did not really get there. i filed that for future reference. then within three days i think my great publisher invited me to write a book on this very subject which i chose to interpret as providential prompting. whether it was not, i don't know. i initially balked at the idea thinking and not a trained theologian. after considering in a little more, it occurred to me precisely because i am not a trained theologian and my people to reach people in this secular arena. that is where my platform to

the extent to have one is. being a former skeptic might be able to relate to people that the train to theologian who may never have had the kind of downside it could relate to. i decided to do it. this book is different than other christian apologetics because i don't just examine the proof for the evidence for the truth of christianity's claims. i do that comprehensively, but i also go into my own spiritual journey to establish a foundation of our native transformation from nonbeliever to believer i also structured the book with red berries can send in a way that reflects my personal journey. part of that is this, a lot of what got me over the so-called intellectual obstacles which may have been asking is something else to my don't know, but part of the way i got over it was studying the bible itself and studying theology and i -- part of my message, part of my purpose to

skeptics is taking a second look or take a first looked. the bible claims to have the power of conversion given a chance to see what happens. do not believe what other people have told you, don't believe the myth makers about the bible being the method. give it a chance. even if your not looking at it thinking it is the word of god. and that which as governor at of the state of missouri brought some of his law school classmates home to visit his parents during the christmas break, pretty much every year. one of those years he brought steve springer. there were sitting around a fireplace. i always believed in god instead of giving to of getting defensive in the course of our discussion went to his guest bedroom,

got his bible, brought it back and showed me a reference bible, he showed me how to passages in the old testament would interconnect with passages in the old testament and the new testament. i did not know if was that's dramatically integrated and was kind of block away. that was just one seat that would later come to fruition some 20 years -- welcome i don't know how long, but quite a few years later when i became a believer. and i told steve when he came back to visit on another occasion a few years ago, you have no idea the impact you had on me spiritually. went to my library card at the very bible that he had given me, took it back to him. at the key was emotionally moved that he had had an impact. fellow christians, when you go out and evangelize, do not let your ego begin to and assume that you have to

see immediate results because we never know what kind of scenes we can plan to and how they will bear fruit later. [applause] that altman the gummy over the hump. i have read. i read some many of these things, some before i became a believer in some after. it is fuzzy. i know that the tipping point came at a christian business men's apparel group when some celebrity speaker was speaking. and after he spoke we were asked to sign the car if it wanted to learn more. i felt a little foolish. someone let me to sign that card. i signed the card. within a few days we were meeting. the think he was already a

believer, but he wanted to go. we all met with two leaders, and they took us through a book called first steps which introduced us to the foreign concept to me that all of scripture is dead -- and the messianic prophecies, when i saw the profit mike in the old testament had predicted a very town cheeses would be born in and i saw the prophecies in as a and psalms about the specifics of jesus' life on earth and his death and resurrection to the point where he -- no bonds would be broken, he will lift a finger to defend himself. he will be punished along with the transgressors, i.e. thieves. i saw all those things and said, there is no way that i can honestly deny that this is the inspired word of god. now, i could have come up with fake excuses like

rickles dollars due today. his book was not written by a guy named as a.m. they go back retrospectively . the dead sea scrolls of put a hole in their claims to critique these books. bottom line, i knew he had written it, that god had inspired his work. i knew then i was holding in my hand the inspired word of god. i began to read the bible and theology graciously. i could not get my hands on it fast enough. also, just to mention a few, some other old testament prophecies that blow me away, not just danielle, throughout the book of daniel, chapters two and seven and the predictions about the four empires and the third, greece, rapidly taking over the world. and then on the death of the leader it will split into four generals just like alexander the great. it is truly bone chilling the remarkable when you read it.

but the ones that could mean high the prediction 300 years before king josiah was born by name that this cain would present an offer, a pagan offering on the altar. his name is mentioned. and then king cyrus who is better known, i'm sure, to secular historians, the king of the meadow persian empire, not only predicted by name but that he would free is used to return to their holy land. there is even archaeological corporation that he had a practice of doing this, not returning shoes specifically to rebuild the temple, but babylonians. he freed the babylonians to return to their homeland and rebuild their round peg in places of worship. and that is an analogous the so corroborative. i love that. in the book i don't just talk about, as i said, the

formal proofs of christian apologetics, the prophecy, archaeology, the transmission of the bible, i also go into scripture, talk about the paradoxical teachings of scripture because i am so fascinated with the bible and believes -- i take it at its word when it says it has the power of conversion. i want to introduce nonbelievers too powerful theology which is taught by god counter intuitively. they seem inconsistent. still deeper. chair is so much truth. it makes a mistake deeper to unwrap that riddle, to disclose that enigma. then it sticks with us and is more meaningful to us. but i also included a couple of chapters on what i call upon moments. the stories coming inspirational stories i would run across after becoming a believer and other theological points that blow me away.

so two chapters hoping that it might tug at the heart of a skeptic. and so one of these moments is particularly meaningful to me. age a ironside was a preacher 100 or so years ago . his pupil wrote a book about a bunch of things. he included the story in the book. he preached at a salvation army gathering. there would be a guy that came. would always start at the back of the room. very intrigued. why is this guy back there? he was awed. one day they guy comes in and was forced to sit on the front row because he was late. at inside corners him at the end and said, what is your story? the guy said, well, i used to be an atheist. now i am not an atheist, but i am not a christian.

what cause you to be from nonbeliever to at least a believer in god? that man over there. in the men of and there was a friend of his who was a former a alcoholic, bar owner his wife had been totally transformed by his placing his trust in jesus christ. that had a significant impact. he said, well, why can't you take that next step? well, i read the new testament. it just doesn't do much for me. every the book of isaiah and it blows me away. such beautiful literature. wish i could become a christian. my moment. he said, would you let me read you a chapter, little short chapter? you sell me who it is describing. i don't know anything about the bible. just give me a chance. he says. the chapter. isaiah 53. and remember what he is

doing to this nonbeliever. who has believe our message and to whom has the arm of the lord been revealed? representative this 700 years before christ burned. you has with our message and to hell has the are of the lord been revealed? he grew up before him. and like root out of dry ground he had no duty your majesty, nothing in his appearance that we should desire and purity was despised and rejected by mankind. like one from home people hide their faces, he was despised. we held him in low esteem. surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by god, stricken by him and afflicted. he was pierced for our transgressions, crest for our increase. the punishment that brought us peace was on him in by his wounds were healed. we all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us turn

to our own weight. the lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. oppressed and afflicted committee he did not open his mouth, led like a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before its shares are silent, he did not open his mouth. by a pressmen and judgment he was taken away in his generation protested for he was cut off from the land of the living for the transgression of my people he was punished. a sign the grave with the wicked and with the rich and his death though he had been no violence, nor was any deceived. it was the lord's will to crush them and cause him to suffer. and though the lord makes his allies in offering for san he will see his offspring and prolong his days. the will of the lord will prosper in his hand. after he has suffered you will see the light of life and be satisfied by his knowledge. my righteous servant of justify many and bear their iniquities.

therefore, i will give him a portion and he will divide the spoils with the strong. he was numbered with the transgressors, for a boy this and of many in meet intercessions for the transgressors discord conduct "in the kennedy the chapter. ironside gave him the book. he read it several times, dropped it in his hands and scurried off. he did not show up for three more days. totally free to mount. no idea. and when he came back ironside talked to him and said, what happened? this guy when he had been in the holy land had cursed jesus on calvary saying, this is where the christian deceit began. all these people that were with him at the time scary down the held thinking they were going to get hit by a bolt of lightning.

that is important. sell the young man breaks down in tears as she related to the next chapter. he says, he made an announcement to the group, you know, friends, these last few nights i've learned that the one i cursed on calvary was the one who was wanted for my transgressions and by his owns i'm healed. is that awesome? it is unbelievable. [applause] i have so little time and so much to share, so i am going to appreciate this stuff. just in staccato motion. the critics say that faith and reason are incompatible, that faith and christianity is incompatible. the lord tells us to love him with all of our mind. god made us in his image, super infinitely intelligent

so that we could relate to him and have our relationship with him and day in the scripture. that requires intellect commanders nothing incompatible between faith and reason were christianity is concerned. [applause] in fact, the overwhelming weight to the evidence, and i have put it down in the book, the overwhelming weight of the evidence is that christianity is true beyond a reasonable doubt. way beyond any standard. if you study with an open heart and an open mind, you will discover that jesus truck -- jesus christ is an historical figure who became man while being fully god and filling man college days unless life to die for our sins and was resurrected physically in the body. let me tell you that i did not understand. if i had understood christ i might have been a believer earlier.

this catholic writer to my read his book, the life of christ. it was amazing to. three things distinguish christ. one is, he was the only man ever preannounced who was felled by prophecy. of all the people. the only man who ever divided history. even the skeptics have to refer to people in that context. and third, which is the most profound, he is the only man who ever lived life backwards. and this gave me an entirely new perspective. he was born to die. that is why when peter cut off the soldiers here jesus said to make it behind me, satan commanded you can. he was done with his or if the mission and was going to die. he had to die, suffer, take on human form in order to experience the full suffering of humanity. he had to be human, you

understand? and allies would be an abstract mathematical exercise. you can't balance the five scales with that nonsense. it was real, but he had to be fully got in order to wipe the slate clean for all of the past, present, and future sense of mankind. when we worry about evil and suffering, why would an all-powerful and all loving god permit evil? what i did not understand beyond the free will and making as creatures capable of love and that we grow in our suffering because we grow in our relationship, all of which is profoundly important, what i did not understand was that he became man to suffer with us and for us and continues to do it today. he had to be fully got and fully man for that to have occurred. so as john scott said, we don't -- some people imagine and in a different guy sitting on this less steel deck chairs indifferent to send. but for the cross the would

not believe in christianity. jesus christ my savior came to the earth as a man. he took paul of the arrows for us. separated from the father, took all of the wrath in real history and real-time so that we could live. why would he say why have you forsaken me? the reason is he had to suffer. take this from me. why would he say that? well, the next thing he said immediately -- the reason he said it, he was suffering in his humanity. he knew he would be an eternity with the father and holy spirit. take this come from me. not my world but you will be done because he knew that that is the reason he came. so when we imagine are suffering and think it is unfair and don't understand why god created us to allow

this suffering, remember that we have a savior who died with us and for us who was not human before his incarnation but became human and will always be human forever after so that we could have a personal relationship with him. i invite skeptics to please read this book. i tried to tell you the fascination i have for the bible and how i misapprehended what it was trying to say intel and dug into it. i was under the misunderstanding that it could not be supported in history. these books have been transmitted to us as written, investigated by textual critics, even though liberal critics know that we are reading the exact thing that the writers originally wrote and we know the reliability can be trusted because there were transformed from people who were dejected and dispirited after christ died to both programmers of the gospel,

and the reason they were is because they saw jesus christ in his body after he died in after his tomb was empty. if he had been in the tomb they could have produced the body and ended christianity in its inception. they couldn't. resurrected, 12 resurrection appearances within 40 days many were still alive. this has happened in the 30's, 20 years later these people were still alive. they went out and work transformed to both pro clamors. why? that because there were like jim jones followers to believe in an ideology or theology, not like some other people who believe in these other things are willing to die. that is not what distinguishes. what distinguishes them is

that they saw the living christ and his bodily form after he died. he was brilliant, effervescent, strong. they had seen a man whose wound on the cross as many scholars said they would never have followed him because that would have known that he was not resurrected but just one step from the grave. the truth is he was there risen christ, they saw it, and they've based their fate on seeing him. i am winding up. new testament scholars said, they do not base their belief on these abstract ideas. how would you like to base your each channel destiny, which one would you want to base your eternal destiny on the fact that you believe certain ideas are right like some marxist, you're pretty sure there right to don't know absolutely. how would you rather base your eternal destiny on the fact that you know that you

and a bunch of your friends saw someone in the flesh over the last month? that is what they based their life changing experience and transformation on. they saw him in history, in the flesh. then they spread the gospel to the rest of the world. as a glorious thing. thank you for having me.

>> thank you. thank you so much. thank you. very warm. thank you for that generous reception. it is so great to be here tonight with you in washington d.c. actually, that is not really quite true. it is never really great to be in washington d.c. washington d.c. has a very, very funny place. i've had the opportunity to work here five different times. the first time i was an intern. there is no job to meal for them to give an intern to do learned a lot about the coffee machine and the copy machine. came back here and worked in the private sector. the third time i was the needy of the national commissioner. we came so close to finding

a bipartisan solution to a strengthening in reforming medicare. believe we were torpedoed because the president at the time, president clinton cannot control his lost. thanks to that torpedo. i came back a fourth time an assistant secretary in the bush administration. it was an honor to work with president bush but i saw firsthand some of the waste in federal government and how they spend our tax dollars. the most interesting time i came was the fifth time. i had the privilege to come here as a congressman. let me tell you, when you come as a congressman it is a whole different experience it is like somebody giving it a secret password. when you first elected they give you a plan that allows you to go anywhere you want in the capital. then they give you a license plate for your car that says agent has a number on it. the lower the number of the more important you are. you find out very quickly

with that license plates you are allowed to park or of a you want. i could not find a parking spot. the capitol police officer came out and said, what are you doing? and said, there's no parking spot. he said, congressman, you park wherever you want then they give you an nra, about a million dollars to run your office. you can spend it however you want. it is an amazing thing when you get elected to congress and they give you the secret keys. your jokes define the, you're smarter, better looking. i want you to try something. when you go to your office the next group of lobbyists as come see you, i want you to say the dumbest thing you can think of. you make of the dumbest thing. tell them the sun rose in the west this morning, you saw. i guarantee you they will try to agree with you.

ec, now because i lost my first election. people ask me the difference between losing and winning an election. when you win an election you get a lot more friends. i remember, there was a guy that endorsed one of my opponents. an elected official at one on tv and criticize me. he came to see me after i won. i was secretly for you from the very first. [laughter] i said to my don't even know what that means. next time i want you to be secretly for the other guy and publicly for me. the reason i tell you that is, d.c. is a phony environment, a dangerous environment for elected officials. we need to change how we pay them. when need to pay them a per diem a separate pay them more for every day they leave. [applause] in now, everything in

washington d.c. is about pompous and political slogans. a few years back bill clinton ran for president with the slogan, it is the economy stupid. the point he was making is really the kind -- economic concerns is all that matters. i think that was a very flawed view of america. every political strategist tells the candid, almost exclusively on economic issues. disagree. that think the key to a strong america his economic strength and a democratic system of government. here is what i believe. as america's culture goes, so goes america. i am glad that we have a free-market economy, a democratic system, but it is not the economy. rather it is the culture. [applause] now, don't get me wrong.

i am all for capitalism and a strong economy. capitalism and free enterprise will fail in a country where people don't respect to rule of law, don't care for each other, share a common view of the dignity of all mankind has cats creation. put simply, culture matters. don't kid me wrong, i love democracy. even democracy will fail and a place with a collective intentions of the governor bent on selfishness, greed, lawlessness, and subjugating others. democracy only works and we can rely on the bedrock foundation of a culture where people share a common commitment to doing the right thing and playing by the rules. otherwise democracy simply becomes the will of the mob. american success relies on a healthy culture that admits some things are right, some things are wrong, a culture that respects life, culture that honors the dignity of every individual and the honors of our judeo-christian effort.

there is no magic. it cannot be undone by a man behaving badly. you have heard it said that liberty cannot be established without morality or immorality without face. today that is an unfashionable sentiment in our society. many want us to believe that a completely secular society is a desirable goal for america. floriculture is sick our military might well not save us. they weaken themselves by adopting a secular world view and i have no interest in seeing america go the way of europe. as for me -- [applause] as for me, i think clinton got it wrong. i think it is the culture. that brings me to what i want to talk about. there is so much is

president and the obama administration has done. i worry about $18 trillion of debt, obamacare putting bureaucrats between us and our doctors and the epa smothering our economy, taxes and borrowing and the growth of the federal government. with conservative leaders we can reverse much of that damage. the thing that worries me the most, the thing that keeps me up tonight is this president's relentless effort to kill the definition of the american dream. dca in his actions and hear it in his speeches. if you listen long enough hope you understand it is about values, redistribution and drawing the federal government. i don't know about you, but that is not the american dream that my parents taught me.

the american dream i learned about was an america where we are forever young. our best days are always ahead of us and the circumstances of your birth to not determine your outcome has and adults. we are not guaranteed equal outcome but equal opportunity. you work hard, get a great education, you can do great things in this country. [applause] now, the reason this is so important is my parents have lived the american dream. the only one of his family to get past the fifth grade, i grew up in a house without electricity or running water i know because we heard the stories every single day life. the deadlock trying to get an allowance from a guy like that. but here is the amazing thing. only 50 years ago my parents came halfway across the

world to abandon rouge, louisiana. they have never been on the plane, they had never been to louisiana, they had never even met anybody who had been to louisiana. you can't as somebody with the weather is like, the food like, the people like. my dad brought his pregnant wife halfway across the world because they knew when their bonds even though they had never visited, they knew that there was a special place and that if you got here and they can legally, but if you get here -- [applause] by the way, mr. president, it is not that hard. all we need is for you to do your job. secure the border. but they knew in their bones, if you could get here and if you worked hard you could pursue the american

dream, create more opportunities were your children and grandchildren. there was freedom, opportunity in this great country. my dad got here, my mom was in school. did not know anybody. he wanted a job, not a handout. he started calling company after company in the yellow pages. i love what happens. he keeps calling and calling calling day after day, hour after hour. finally, he where somebody down. finally, there is a guy that hires in sight unseen and says to him, you can start monday morning. he tells his new boss, is not even met the man, that's great. i don't have a car, don't have a driver's license, you will have to pick me up on the way work monday morning. only my dad could get away with that. the boss was so taken by his desire to work he did exactly that. six months later i was born. i was what you would

politely call a free existing condition back when i was born. and there is no obamacare, and they were married. and here is the amazing thing. i was born at the same hospital where years later to have our three children were born. now, we had an hours of paperwork. when i was born, my dad, there was no insurance to cover me, my dad went to the doctor. he did not sign a peep of paper, apply for government program, he went to a doctor and said, i will send you a check every month until that davis and fall, and that is exactly what he did. [applause] i don't know if that would work today. that was a simpler time.

how do you pay for a baby on layaway? i mean, if you skip the payment, can they take the baby back? he assures me, son, you are paid for, don't worry. and i mentioned to of our three kids were born at that hospital. the third was born at home. i don't have time to tell you that entire story. one thing, every man in here, go home and think your mom, wife, sisters, daughters. their is a reason god almighty in his infinite wisdom did not allow men to have babies. the dumbest thing i ever heard was a week later in church -- because we did not plan this. my wife to liquor -- delivered literally on the floor. congratulating me. i just caught it. my part was pretty easy. a week later a guy says to me the same thing happened to me.

how did the same thing happen to you? i had a kidney stone. it's exactly the same thing. [laughter] that is the dumbest thing i've ever heard. and 9-pound kidney stone, would not come until my wife said. we will tell you, have been married to my wife for 17 years. i only live once commanded was that morning. our baby comes out. on tv they come out and i've been in beautiful and are wrapped in a blanket. it is not like that in real life. so she is asking me, how does he look? if i was honest i would have said, he doesn't look like he's done. let's put him back in for a little longer. i did not say that. if i was really being honest, he looks like your side of the family, not mine . you know, i like being married, did not say any of

those things. a beautiful, and some boys. she was in pain, the first time i handed her our son to hold for the very first time, this is our third child, the first time she held a child she forgot about her pain, our distress i fell in love with her all over again just reminds you what a miracle of life, what an amazing gift to be there and be a part of it. [applause] but going back to the american dream, it is funny. the older you get the smarter your parents become. it is true. the older i become, i am becoming more and more like my dad. i say things as war would never say. my dad used to tell us, if your friends jump off a bridge, would you?

no idea what that meant, but i still say to my children. my dad left to tell us, you're not living in a democracy when you live under my roof under my rules eighty's when he told me that. i tell my kids that all the time. one of the things he used to teach us growing up -- two things. he used to teach us, and not giving you a famous last name or an inheritance, and i will make sure you get a great education. in america there is no limit to what you can accomplish. the second thing he would tell us all the time, son, you need to get on your knees every night and thank god almighty the your blessed to be born in the greatest country in the history of the world. [applause] you know, i want to fight and make sure their children

and grandchildren can see that same prayer. thinking about what i could talk about. talk to you today about cutting the budget. the strongest economy in a generation. consistently ranked the most pro-life state in the country year after year. [applause] a strong second amendment, but the one thing i want to talk about briefly is, we have worked hard to make sure that we give parents educational choice in louisiana. now, whether kids are home schooled, and a christian school, charter school, we want to empower parents. one union leader said in louisiana parents to not have a clue when it comes to

making choices for their kids. that is a debate we face today. on our side redress the american people to make their own decisions. the left does not think we are smart enough to pick her children's schools, health insurance, smart enough to attract a big gulp without the government telling a subtle and-. and here is the amazing thing. in our scholarship program 93% are saving taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. getting better year after year. and yet the thanks again for this program is eric holder -- by the way, is in this great he is about to be out of a job? my only request is that the next attorney general actually read the constitution before he takes the job. [applause] the things we got was eric holder took us to a federal court to try to stop our scholarship by to his

program. i came here to d.c. at the national press club and announced the obama administration as being cynical, immoral, and hypocritical. i don't think and getting invited back to the christmas party. the reason i said that his client is wrong for the federal government to try to interfere and micromanage the educational choices being made. it is wrong to try to trap kids and families, wrong for them to say they know better than parents how other kids should be educated which is also why we are in federal court right now suing the federal government saying the federal government should get common core out of the state of louisiana. [applause] it is a violation of the tenth amendment and federal law for the federal government to try to be making curriculum decisions in the classroom. beyond the philosophical

point and my parents to look at the math problems. it makes absolutely no sense. there is no reason to give these federal bureaucrats the right to dictate how classrooms are run. [applause] you may wonder how when the world we get to the point where the federal government feels like it has the power. for once i agree with david axelrod was famously trying to defend president obama. was not the president's fault. i don't remember what scandal. but he said, the federal government is so bad and so expensive the president could not possibly know what was going on. that is exactly right. that is exactly the problem. the federal government is so vast an expansive. clinton famously said the era of big government was over. never before has someone

been so wrong about something so important. if i could go back in time, if i were speaking to use several years ago and nasty to predict what happened in our country you would not have believed it. "you really believe the irs would go after conservative groups for their beliefs, would you believe that? would you really believe the department of justice was by on the ap and other reporters? and facts to go back in time and said it will run at $18 trillion of debt and create a new entitlement program when we can't afford the ones we have got now. talking about going back in time. our ambassador to libya would be killed and would blame a youtube video. the would have gone back in time and said then secretary clinton would be so exasperated by having to answer questions that she would say what difference does it make? would you have believed that no. there are some many of these

things. maybe this is the most dangerous. we are seeing now an unprecedented assault on our religious liberty rights right here in the united states of america. [applause] you know, i was happy at the supreme court ruled 5-4 that the green family does not have to spend over a $9 in fines simply because they don't want to use their own money to pay. why? have a question for the board. why was that i5-4 ruling? why wasn't that an 9-0 ruling? [applause] when secretary clinton talks about the freedom of religious expression, then you have the right on sunday morning and wednesday night. that is not what the founding fathers intended. what is dangerous, there is

no freedom of speech or freedom of association with our religious liberty in this country. you may remember when donald duck dynasty controversy happened. one of the first people that come out and speak out in defense of bill and the robertson camp was the governor of louisiana. he may have thought i did that simply because they are friends. the man if i did because they found the show in louisiana. you may think that it because my little boy's is a huge fan of the shell. by the way, isn't it great to have a tv show you can watch with your kids without being embarrassed for once? is now wind it either. i did it because i am tired of the left. you see, they say that they tolerate diversity of views, but there right different opinions.

reality is there for tolerance unless you happen to disagree with them. i am tired of the hypocrisy command it is time to take a stand. did not like the second amendment to the constitution. i thought maybe he would leave the second. i am not in favor of lawsuits. for so long we keep saying president obama is a smart man the constitutional lawyer. there is one lawsuit i will endorse. i think the president should sue harvard law school to get his tuition money back. i don't know what he learned . [applause] in now, there is one thing i would wish the president would hear from us today.

the united states of america did not create religious liberty. religious liberty created the united states of america and is the reason we're here today. [applause] you may have messed the president spoke of the national prayer breakfast at this town a few months ago. it was so on because he spoke so eloquently about the plight of questions being persecuted overseas. ..

>> >> is see it every day weak on foreign policy. but it makes several the more dangerous place. for those that do not believe this is the president who simply waited and called isis their junior varsity team less than one year ago. after the barbaric be heading really did not lay out a strategy. and isis needed to be

contained and expelled. we'd never heard him say they needed to be hunted down and killed and destroyed. this president for some reason this does seem to a nasty and when ameritech is strongest the world this a this. that is not just saying it is a true statement. [applause] >> that does not sound very sophisticated but i am tired of this administration. sometimes truth is not sophisticated but is pretty simple. our friends don't trust us anymore. not only did he make isis more structure but america more vulnerable and more we. this president believes multilateralism women's not give veto power over our own national security to a foreign capital of the world.

i was born -- and was going around in 2012 to say he was the worst president since jimmy carter. and then i apologize to jimmy carter. [laughter] at least he was just incompetent. he did not believe in american exceptionalism but this treaty does not understand america the strongest the most visible but the most consistent defender of human dignity and freedom and the world needs america we are the indispensable nation and the quicker he realizes there is evil that must be exterminated. not simply negotiated but the sooner we will resume our rightful place with world affairs and the sooner we stand with israel.

[applause] but the sooner we stop to go into private villa and the ukraine this sooner we know america will to lead when it again. i want to close was one final thought. today the endangerment of this administration and foreign policy. we are witnessing the most incompetent administration in our lifetime. for our witnessing the most extremely is ideologically liberal administration in our lifetime? i thought long and hard about the question really satisfactory answer is

secretary clinton what difference does it make? [laughter] [applause] if but i will pause for one final thought. we are blessed to live in the greatest country of the world not inevitably forever. every generation has to choose for itself to reduce those principles and now is our time. to give the optimism. what makes america a greater not the monuments but freedom as the shrine with the american mother and father and family to create something out of nothing. they are brewing amongst us in the united states of america. we are ready for a hostile takeover to take our country back from the interesting

and washington d.c.. god bless you. god bless the united states of america. [cheers and applause] [applause] ♪ >> thank you very much. ♪

director kennedy, professor browne thanks for inviting us here today to talk about the election and the principles of american renewal. election day is only 33 days away and early voting has begun and a referendum on the policies of barack obama and in many ways it is a few ask the country most people say our party opposes many of those policies. we'll close them because we know it is a better way for republicans to have new ideas with the bottom up solution founded in the free market with compassion and responsibility with the idea that america is headed for better days. before november i want to take a moment to cut through the new ways to talk about

what is driving the republican party. people know what we are against i want to talk about what we are for. with our country that offers unlimited opportunity for everybody. in the pursuit of the vision and the values that have long been a strong economy economy, a strong society and a strong defense. the principles of american renewal as i am outlining today fit into those three categories to represent ideas from across that party 11 principles that unite us as of party to form policy-making whether running for governor in new york or congress in the south for the statehouse in the west. they cover 11 vital topics topics, jobs come the spending, a health care care, veterans', national

security and poverty, values, energy, imm igration. the first principle is about our constitution. principal number-one come our constitution should be preserved, valued and honored. our rights to not come from government as a declaration said endowed by our creator. the job is to protect the natural rights our constitution and founding principles are uniquely human history. it created a government of limited power to empower all of us to preserve those limits. sarah constitution is a source of american exceptionalism the wisdom of our founders and foundation of all good policy.

and the individual well-being and the practical effect of the commitment to the constitution is resorting power to we the people from our work to eliminate poverty states the the ability to respond to residents' needs. this doesn't make just constitutional sense and makes common sense. the federal government has boundaries and when oversteps then it encroaches on your personal freedom and god-given liberty to decide what is right for your life. that guides our thinking on every single issue. right now the state of the economy is the top issue. that brings to principle number two. we need to start growing america's economy instead of washington's so working

americans see better wages and more opportunity. bureaucrats and lobbyists to give businesses the freedom to create jobs over taxing and over regulating create jobs for the wrong people and bureaucrats right here in d.c. they take jobs away from the people that need them middle-class moms and dads minority communities or unemployment to hear the republicans talk about regulations a lot there is a reason regulations come between you and the job to make paychecks smaller. it is one thing to protect consumers come to that is important but another chew

protect special interests the reasons why companies like uber have to fight tooth and nail to do business. what if they got at of the way? every year states governed by republicans tops the list of best places to do business. at domain congress should close up shop although some say at under harry reid they have done a long time ago there is some things congress can do. for example, senator scott proposed the skills at to get job training for new jobs many ideas were included in the workforce opportunity act that passed congress this summer but the bills would mean millions of

unemployed and under employed workers could receive the job catskills trading to chart a path to a better future. that is what republicans support. like the skills act with a leap act to support apprenticeships for the carrier back from senator pour better senator brand call for economic freedom zones in areas of high unemployment to alleviate poverty. part of that is getting washington d.c. to stop spending financing things we don't need. that brings us to principle number three. we need to pass a balanced budget amendment to make government more efficient to leave the next generation with opportunity. not dead. this year approximately 4 million children will be

born in the united states. the most popular name for boyce is reince. [laughter] i am just kidding. actually i think it is lam and noah. a newborn baby's grass is so strong he can support his weight in mid-air to hang on for dear life is a great skill for babies born today. is assuming how we leave them it is unbelievable. to share $18 trillion of national debt for every child over $55,000. how is that fair?

shame on us if we don't do something because taking care of our generation should required robbing the next that is why paul ryan and jim jordan reduce free-spending to produce the safety net today it is run more efficiently federal government gets bigger and more expensive and it does not make sense. was applied 24 erst -- 21st century efficiency and moving on when of the big driver suspending principal number for. we need to start over with the real health care reform to put patients and doctors in charge not unelected bureaucrats in washington. let me ask you this. at the most critical moment of your life with your life

hangs in the balance of 91 decisions made about what kind or how much health care you are allowed to get? we need health care solutions reduce cost to provide greater access to give americans more control over their health care decisions but obamacare gave washington d.c. more control over health care in patients and doctors less. republicans trust americans to make their own health care decisions. democrats get defensive when you criticize obamacare for failing to meet its own goals. what is your plan to make health care more affordable? we're glad they ask for:now if they would just listen to the answer here it is. first, there problem with the affordable care act is it didn't make health care

more affordable but to address the larger issue republicans have solutions has employed to do what obamacare was supposed to do, lower prices and expand coverage here are six examples. first, allowing consumers to purchase health care across state lines just like any other good or service. second, louse all businesses to pull together to negotiate lower insurance rates for their employees. third, stopping the frivolous lawsuits that drive the cost. we finally need to reform in this country fourth to expand the yellow oval expenses for health savings accounts and restructuring the tax code so they get tax deductions to level the playing field. number six those with

pre-existing conditions who maintain continuous coverage. unlike obamacare none of these reforms require new taxes. no handing over information to the unsecured website you like the plant you can actually keep it. in getting to the heart of the issue veterans affairs. and principal number five of our veterans have earned our respect and gratitude in no veteran should have to wait in line for months or years just to see a doctor. the scandal is unconscionable the big picture is another example of how mismanaged this administration really is. the most important thing to major veterans get the care they need is number one doesn't matter if in a v.a.

facility not that is where republicans are proud to support access to care and choice in accountability and transparency act of 2014. a guess veterans the ability to get care from non v.a. facilities if they live too far away or have waited too long. republicans' proposed such measures even before the scandal made national headlines. other scandals have knocked the v.a. out of the news for now but that does not mean everything is fixed in to make sure it gets its act together and waiting to see a doctor. but to keep our word for veterans because of the moral obligation and the service of the armed forces

is critical to national security. that brings us to principle number six. keeping america as a fan strong requires a safe military growing economy, energy independence and to secure the borders. the federal government has no greater responsibility to keep us safe. if your family and kids are not secure than nothing else matters with isis we face an enemy that once our life destroyed we need leaders who will defeat terrorism not manage it. we need seaters to act decisively not downplay the threat we need leaders who will take responsibility not blame the intelligence community. this is no time to weaken the military but a time to

strengthen it. we can eliminate waste and bureaucracy. we must have more resources for troops to recognize security threats of the 21st century improve cybersecurity have to be important. that is why chairman mica rogers showed the sharing protection and cybersecurity enhancement act. national-security is more than just military. but to secure the border i will come to that with the next few topics. moving onto education. every child should have an equal opportunity to have a great education no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing school. just down the street from

here those two had the means to send their kids to the best school in town but not every american has the money to choose a of a good school for their children. what if you cannot afford to go to a private school or go to a better school district? it is the civil rights issue of our day it is one of the most effective ways to expand access. john boehner has been a champion of the scholarship program here in washington d.c.. there is a reason and offers children hope. whether former students their named tiffany talks about waiting to hear if she received a scholarship. i started to pray every day because i did not want to go

to a neighborhood school. school choice can truly be the answer to a child's prayer. we once more ways for disadvantaged kids to get into a good school that is why the governor of ohio quadrupled the choice scholarships in his state wylie's and expanded the scholarship program under governor general but i understand why the above a justice department sued louisiana to take away scholarships from kids? understand why democrats oppose the d.c. opportunity scholarship by harry reid would not put a charter school bill up for a vote? also improving education with accountability of the state and local level governor martinez into mexico implemented a rating system with education reforms that included raises and trainings and evaluations for teachers

mexico is now the number one state in the country for improving graduation rates. republicans licking it increased flexibility at the post secondary level. one example senator mike lee proposed an act the higher education reform and opportunity act to open up new avenues for nontraditional students like single parents. there is a lie on the left republicans want to cut education but there was a good education for every single child in america period. but rather than how much they learn. and waste on the prairies and teachers education is too important to the policies be dictated by special interests.

education is key to opportunity in for fighting poverty. that brings us to principle number eight. the best anti-poverty program is a strong family and a good job. the focus should be to get people out of poverty by lifting all people to help them find work. we need effective safety nets to become this minister and ineffective we should restructure and consolidate to give more power to the states to measure the results. doing this kits the same results 45 million of our fellow americans are living in poverty. benghazi puts it instead of fighting poverty the federal

government has resigned itself to managing poverty spending $800 billion and 92 anti-poverty programs. it is now working. that is why the new plan would consolidate 11 programs into one funding stream rewarding lifting people out of poverty to figure out the best ways to meet people's needs. we know a single mother in new york faces different challenges than the family of six in nebraska. whenever redo we have to take up fresh approach to ending poverty because to many families are hurting this brings me to the ninth topic for today. principle number nine ever country should values the traditions of family and life and religious liberty and hard work. we should champion policies toward fans the values.

sadly over the last decade we have seen the breakdown of the family unit. to many kids don't have the support they need. dinkins in single-parent homes are 80 percent more likely to spend out of poverty. the research shows marriage is key natalie financial stability but basic happiness but yet there are government policies that discourage marriage so to propose eliminating the marriage penalty in increasing the child tax credit. also introducing the family first act with a dependent care tax credit to match inflation. as republicans are

pro-family and pro-life so when a woman faces the unplanned pregnancy offer support and and compassion she should know adoption is possible. to make an easy path for families who want to open their homes to children. and just as our government should not stand in the way a family issue in a stand in the way of religion. it has been synonymous with religious life and republicans will fight for protecting their rights to free exercise in free expression and freedom to violate one's religious beliefs. finally we want to uphold the value of art work. it is of value. one repassed by to our families and our communities it is what built this country we need to make it easier to go to work in the first place.

last month passing the block grant act giving states funds to help low-income families pay for child care when a parent has to work or go to school. that could be a model for other programs use of block grant the states can do what is right for their residents and republicans have passed the working family flexibility act. so in the paid time off then is more time with kids and less pressure to choose between family. it is to make life more filling a more affordable. where americans spend money every year is energy. principle number 10 we should make america energy independence by encouraging investment with the domestic energy to lower prices and

create jobs at home. america is blessed with abundant resources. picking and choosing what energy we can use. to build the keystone pipeline route is good for security. but it means this gets shipped to china. and a great american energy results with anything going to us. we could get prices down. it is of win-win with american energy policy we need. finally today i want to talk about in the headlines for

me is immigration principle number in seven. and immigration system to secure our borders and upholds the a lot to boost the economy. border security must come first the humanitarian crisis at the border made that abundantly clear. the president's plan to overlooked the border crisis to rewrite the immigration laws is unacceptable and unconstitutional. the plan to make further changes to the system after the election makes it harder as a nation of immigrants we must fix the broken immigration system we cannot reward those or punish those who wait in line. it has strengthened the country we will continue that legacy to protect the american worker.

this issue is personal. my mom is greek that is where reince comes from a greek and a german but i did name my kid jacket and gray. [laughter] but my mom is greek and grew up in sudan and then met my daddy was in the army in ethiopia. but they moved back to the united states back to queen's new york can in the early '70s in new jersey and was too young to remember buttenbaum will never let me forget the opportunity of our country has given everyone of us in this room. to see dreams come true my own family to make sure it remains a place to dream and

a live but it should be welcoming place for those who want to do with the right way. 11 principles i have outlined today if anyone asks how will the republican party work for me? these principles are part of the answer. not everything our leaders have put forward these agendas. speaker greater to give up 5.a speech if implemented would get more jobs and the places that need them and let us take advantage of america's energy boom. and to ensure in america we

are not bound by where we came from by what we can become. won election will not fix everything but we can take a step in the right direction in this november if the american people higher as we will be ready on day number one so thank you for the chance to be with you today it is my honor. thanks for listening. how were free vote on election day thank you for being a part of the great successful experiment that is the american democracy. god bless you and let's have some questions. [applause]

>> fate you again. >> thanks for having me it is a great setting an opportunity. >> we're thrilled you chose to come here. and we are excited to get into some questions. some of which are processed by students that you will find interesting. so the first i want to ask is in the 2012 election obama campaign had 2 million volunteers 300 people working. and one of the things we discussed is the need for republicans to catch up. the question that i have for you is after this election whether you win the majority or not how do you measure a

few obtained something? because electoral success made not be attributable. >> there are so many points you are making. number one is just on the ground the capabilities that give it to do that part to message to those people and number three if you make these improvements cleaning your better how you prove it? those are great questions that goes to the off part of what they have to do. do you mind? we had to stop being a national party to decide it is okay to show up becoming

a presidential nominee will losers strategy for years previously the democrats hired 10 people with each one get to know those people >> what that digital ever does is allows us to understand what types of people and who do we think we need to turn out to the polls? what you buy and don't buy. what cards you drive homage money did you make or how many kids to have? with those analytics what is your propensity to protect our candidate if i am and i want to make sure i get one hedger thousand absentee ballots in the door. but what 100,000 people do

want to send them to? so in one sense it gives a clue to who you sent the absentee ballot to. that is important something we made tremendous improvement on but just with a u-haul trailer of cash and just handed off to the presidential nominee and not building but only participating in the 23 debate traveling circus while obama builds $100 billion data infrastructure, you have to be a national party assessed over the mechanics. when i walked in the door of the rnc we had to build it from scratch. we have made big improvements. so how do tell although the narrative is that had deal that made a difference? we work on a project right

now to help us measure that. to do voter in engagement, a facebook connect whenever the tools and the platforms are there is nothing going on with those border outcomes' against different demographics based on a control group and all the things that you we're doing to see if what you do or what you say is working. reemployed and if his dad ways to do that through the mid term. one last thing. we're also are becoming a mid term party that doesn't lose in the presidential party that does not win. because boater engagement in my opinion, i think voter

anger community engagement on the ground work is number one with the mid term also a presidential elections will get wisconsin. there is something that goes up with presidential elections we have to get our act together. >> now another piece you refer to as the autopsy. >> the media did so with a growth and opportunity report. [laughter] >> but one of the things that you address is the need to encourage more women to run for office to think about elective politics

bareheaded into a presidential cycle where it looks the democrats is what have you done to reach out to them? >> they have not pulled very well. the first of all, number one we have done a good job to elect women to do congress with our first black teen dash governors also the head of the recap of the house. have done a good job bragging about it. putting more women in our party on the news sunday morning to make sure replace people better than we have improved and in our case

said the man not think about not just so much the candidates but doing a better job of training women to run campaigns to be the communication director because getting women involved at the senior levels is another way to bring in more as women candidates as spokespeople. we have done a lot of work in that area. to do in incredible job to recruit campaign workers and activists but also to do of a great job which is another training regional opportunity for women within the party. alternately barack obama is making a space as well.

obamacare, i saw on they don't have a sizable the vintage with that narrative. you would be surprised to note that tend to generally actually beats mcauliffe when voters between ages 18 and 24. he is conservative but obamacare was not delivered as promised in people don't want to believe that it was

intentionally designed to screw them over which it was handed a like the idea to end is a reading emails a communications. these with the security and free markets all that is why we see young people coming back to our party. >> that is a great segue. because our students are interested have you reach out to young voters? like the issue of the size of student debt on the party agenda? they cared be concerned for those graduating. >> it is resonating on campus. when you have an opportunity like this, it is important so i appreciate you being here. and i chose to do it here with all of you because i

want to make the point to speak to young people and i feel i am kind of young. [laughter] but i think it is important. when i was in college i am not saying you have to do all that but i was one of the most patriotic people on earth and the loved the opportunity to be at the end of -- university to be involved with politics in the care about the future. that israel. i went to a pre-snively -- reasonably priced but law school was excessive university of miami. i cave now with no body of debt may be 100 grand that

is nothing now but back then hands that is a lot of money. see think i am doing well i have a great job but where is all the money going? my point is back to the debt. it is real and as some point it will come true. it has to be paid. with your married gurgling to be married and have kids when you do like the light

switch pops in your brain when you have a child you think it is the cliche to leave it better for our kids but it clicks when you have a child and you have to wonder if these opportunities will be there for our kids and students in college get that. and government shut down your throat is not helpful. so we're doing much better by getting involved in campuses across the country into incredible job on campuses to have to have the permanent infrastructure that can speak for and talk about the values of the republican party. >> what you think about the college republican the elitist then take off?

>> i don't know of people have seen that are not. i think alex is 24 and plugged into the program. you just don't take one add to pleded on nbc during the playoff series. you go to programs everything is micro targeted to speak to college students? i can hire of fire that will tell me from these times on these shows you would get to this type of audience everything is targeted. so that analysis have to consider to get what i want

to politics is not a lot of difference from abraham lincoln that says get them to the polls but how you do that? data? knowing everything that you can what messaging works'? then getting them to the polls is another mechanism the same thing as advertising and a data. >> this is more of a long-term question. basically since the early '90s the parties have fought cover every few cycles it is not unusual to see one party with into cycles then the next party it is the pendulum my mom says we're not bipartisan we are bipolar as a country. [laughter] and she is right what generally have been to if

people in office decide the election was a huge validation of their principles and oftentimes it was the voters rejecting what we see an office. so the larger question to you as the republican party, issued u.n. 2014, hodge you look not to just 2016 but long term? what are the thoughts to not be filled with hubris that you leave the country behind? >> good question. i will challenge partially the promise of the question. under reagan pushed 41 and clinton pushed 43 are far different than under barack obama. the data reagan and tip

o'neill and bush and clinton for:they had a government shutdown newt gingrich was at the white house every day there was the camera stand in the microphone outside every single day there was a cooperative nature at its core i think during those administrations to get things done sometimes that basis they getting gray by that but it should not have been. but this president takes it to a new level democrats privately are very frustrated to talk about bipolar, it matters that the white house can take speaker peter and harry reid we will figure out what we need to do to get the budget passed

for two deal with this issue in syria. and obviously some people think it is part of the rhetoric but i think this president has taken and on the engagement to a level we have not seen in american history. but to your point there are 350 bills right now sitting on harry reads desk. the narrative is republicans are a standing for anything. but the truth is the republican controlled house is the only one doing anything passing 300 bills. by the way to search our bipartisan and of those the majority passed a two-thirds

and 50 are offered by democrats. so all of those bills offered by democrats sitting on his desk doing nothing. so with the republican controlled senate is to take some of those bills whether 100 or 200 or 50 to put them on the president's desk to say you will have to side -- signed some of this and if he signs the bills is to have a republican controlled senate and house and people say this is how a normal functioning entity should operate in it will set the stage for 2016. >> so next year would you expect there to be more confrontation with the president which means more

negotiation? >> i think things can get done. there is enough in the senate right now that the president will have to make a deal. he will have to sign something you cannot pass 300 bills to say nothing is worth signing it will set the stage for 2016. >> so there may be of veto? >> certainly. but also there is enough waiting he will be forced to sign some of it which is important. >> i will take just one more question because we want to get you out of here on time. the last question has to do with your principal's. what i am most interested in hearing and what we hear often is the conversation about the economy. it seems as if every day a

new story comes along to knock the economy off the front pages or whatever happens with secret service but those innermost concerned on a daily basis in you touched on this with your principal's with regard to regulation. how you look how government can push forward it is esoteric. but said keystone pipeline it is very clear if you like it or you are on the democratic side and against it most people support it but it is a clear example of of thousands of new jobs go

to north dakota anywhere across the country with so little regional airport with 500 pickup trucks with great paying jobs. but that this sitting and harry reid desk those who are in favor in the president after a billionaire decided to spend tens of millions of dollars on campaigns to back off the keystone pipeline. how that legislation creates jobs? now with all right and passing budget proposals he

did not go anywhere for five straight years the president was in charge of the country as a ceo in did not pass a budget in five years? that stifles job creation in this country. obamacare is another example of small businesses closing to not pay the premiums. there are three examples were a republican controlled senate can make a difference. it is important we do that. >> thank you for your time here. and sharing your perspective. there are plenty of students here who are excited to say hello to you if you can. thank you will again for coming.
