and he also announced the ceremonies also held in the armenian patriarchy in his temple. another step of history. and we will continue. and we will continue to work to address the history of

problems and also the issue. ladies and gentlemen is destiny. and so today we stand at a crossroads for the region. we believe in the promise of a region and its people. we're willing and able to stand up to the existing challenge as far as the united states. the history of turkish american relations is full of working together. in the balkans and elsewhere, testimony to what we can do together. that is what gives me the confidence to say that turkey and the united states will continue to work as partners. by working together with a better chance for the middle

east. [applause] and i answer the questions. >> for technical reasons is better. >> okay. >> i want to thank the foreign minister. they are going to take questions and do it in the normal way. raise your hand. i'll call the questioners. kind enough. please begin. make your question brief.

>> go you have to the next. >> michael gordon, new york times. the donation with iran. breakout time wall street after that. the facilities will be closed. iran will be a lot to do research and development on centrifuges. what is centrifuges. what is turkey's position on this agreement? other any circumstances in which turkey with feel that it should pursue the development of nuclear technology on its own as a precaution against an iranian breakout? >> okay. well, unfortunately human is

concerned. check the control the whole country. democratically elected president had to leave the country due to security concerns. of course, due to the legitimate president gcc countries after operation. these operations became legitimate. in principle we supported this. and he announced that weekend, can, if they need we can support we can give them logistics support and intelligence. so far we have not received a demand from the coalition. but at the end turkey as a solution at immediate cease-fire humanitarian aid

and political dialogue, meaningful political dialogue and possibly national unity. that is what we need. that is turkey's position. he was very straight with iranian counterpart that what there doing sectarian policies and issues in the region is not helpful and not helping their interest either. so we were very clear that they should be involved in the process that i mentioned they should use the influence. they should withdraw, cease-fire meaningful

dialogue and so on. regarding the basic principle between the p5 plus one and iraq we're fully supporting this process and fully supporting the achievements. we have not -- we should not underestimate the achievements made. they also spend together with brazil. iran is a brotherly country, our neighbor but it is not always easy to make a deal with iran. off we can find a solution. we're supporting this process.

not only in iran but turkey has no intention. [inaudible question] >> yes, here at the carnegie endowment. i would years. you yourself today and also the prime minister has gone much further is going to have acknowledging the suffering. but suffering. but the situation on the ground is bad the border is closed. very few working churches in turkey, still in ruins. i wonder if you could share any concrete steps that your

government will and can take for reconciliation with the armenians. >> first of all, regarding the armenians living in turkey we have 40000 armenian citizens. there are two candidates as well from different parties. one of them is from my party and they are also enjoying the rights of the turkish government and state giving back. this is not something not that the give it for free but it was their right taken but is not only then that all the religious entities are enjoying. they have been renovating the church and synagogues. we just immigrated recently. and we restored armenian church.

and armenians get together every year for worship in the church. we need to do more. raised in istanbul and also armenian foundations. our citizens plus another roughly 40,000 armenian migrants also enjoying. we know that they had to leave armenia. poor economies. they are irregular migrants. i don't like to use the word illegal. they are not illegal people but there are irregular migrants. in turkey. and regarding the turkey armenian issue and re- consolation, we are for

recount solution. we have been spending efforts since 2,009. of course, this year armenian dies poor focus to influence over public opinion on the events of 1915. not expecting any positive response from the armenian friends but we understood that we have to look forward and we need to overcome all these issues. in a statement of the prime minister a kind of turning.in turkey as well. so we have been taking steps toward consolation. i hope they understand that

we need a recount solution and we will not give turkey and shall continue. >> thank you, george. prime minister, i am wondering if you remember -- >> call me prime minister thank you. >> i was wondering if you remember turkey because i treated a single report on twitter. and your government a let them see that coverage. how do you reconcile this with democracy and media and freedom in turkey. thank you. >> this gentleman here. >> thank you. i don't have a question. originally from somalia. i am a somalian american.

i think the foreign minister. the successful turkey, everyone knows. thank you for your government, for your people. again in 2011. during that time no one was coming. it stands where we are because of that leadership. i went on the somali the turkish, istanbul conference. at that time i met with him when he was prime minister. i promised him at the time i don't know i don't know what to give you as a gift. it was very quick. today i'll give it to the embassy. it is a book. you know the word of allah. and this is where our shabbat, the same book that is read by one point something million muslims

that a a been hijacked by a bunch of criminals. thank you. [applause] >> should i? >> well, it is crucial for democratic societies. the former president of the parliamentary family the home rule of law, democracy, and fundamental rights. i am fully for free media and freedom of expression. however, in democratic societies in countries nobody is immune from prosecution because of his or her profession. and regarding the journals in turkey the latest committee to protect journalists tennessee pj reported seven journalists imprisoned in turkey.

and when you look at the list none of them are persecuted for their journalistic book. as a matter of fact, five of them charged with serious crimes such as homicide, causing injury with weapons bank robbery, forgery the security officers. and two of these journalists been released. similar cases and other democratic countries as well for instance, following the news of the hacking scandal in the uk the knew editor of the fed newspaper since to eight months. and also sentenced to 18 months in jail for conspiring in 2014.

and there are other similar cases to give. in italy discount the united states. the 79 -year-old editor of the magazine but tito it means debate. and alexander editor-in-chief and criminal defamation. let me give you another example. there's there's an example increase. a good neighbor, i don't want to give this example. example from this country. a us journalist sentenced to 63 months of imprisonment in january 2015 for involvement

in an activist group. so for me even one journalist imprisoned because of his or her journalistic work is unacceptable. so is for turkey. turkey cannot celebrate any parallel stature in the state. and now democratic country thank you. >> gentleman in the back. >> thank you very much. i am with united for syria. i was hoping that you could examine -- we have been hearing that turkey backs the idea of a no-fly zone or some sort of protective zone

civilians along the turkish border. wonder if you could expand on the turkish policy and loss of explain any roadblocks are obstacles the united states may be presenting. >> can you repeat that? >> obstacles that the united states might present to turkey in implementing this type of protected area. >> embassy of armenia. given your extensive experience in the european affairs the council of europe's parliamentary assembly, i wonder if you can comment on the fact that on april 152015 the european parliament adopted a resolution which officially recognizes the tragic events

that face the armenians during the ottoman empire the genocide and what it calls upon the european council and the european commission to recognize the events of the genocide and account to terms. this paved this paved the way for genuine reconciliation between turkish and armenian people. >> thank you for your questions. before i answer this question the response. thank you for the gift 1st of all. we're doing our best to support the somalian people. just build the hospital with 200 beds, in turkey is running about. hopefully in five years time they we will hand over to the somalian severe training right now the doctors and the spouse and hopefully there will be with one that

hospital. we also build hospitals and other countries. to the people of those countries and citizens of other african countries. we're supporting the development projects for all african countries and will continue. thank you very much. regarding the proposal no-fly zone they know the realities of the region very well. and as i mentioned in my speech the war and our allies and other countries in the coalition right now about the possible development in syria and iraq. unfortunately our recommendations were not

taken into account. now including the united states the regret that did not. now we are proposing safe sound because it is a must. first of all, we need a safe area implementing the train and equip program. we we need safe sound in syria for the success of this program. secondly you know how many refugees living in the neighboring countries? syrian refugees including turkey? more than 4 million. you know how many idp's? with an 8 million. who is helping these vulnerable people? doing his best. they are supplying. 240,000 of them leaving. twenty-five that we built.

the 8,000 living in the camps. and they are supplying education, healthcare, food, everything. the budget for food organization has run out. we have to support those vulnerable people living in turkey not only the camps but all over. these people deserve better. can we keep proper education for the children? there are 500000 syrians in turkey at the age of education, and we are able to give education to on the 140,000 of them. what will happen to be of the 360,000 syrian children? we have more than 100,000 babies in turkey. what, i mean this pays

attention to relocating refugees and also idp. our guest in turkey living in better conditions than the ones in other neighboring countries? am not blaming them because they are also doing best. they cannot afford particularly lebanon and jordan. seventy to relocate these people in the safe sound with all the infrastructure that they need. how is the coalition is going to enhance security focus. no-fly zone, air colors. obviously it's different. you have different proposals were different ideas on the

safe sound and no-fly zone. but if you agree we should do together, implement together. turkey is not insisting to enhance the safe sound on no-fly zone. unfortunately to coalition members. the other core countries, the core members of the coalition have different opinion on this. but we will continue to try to convince our allies. regarding the armenian issue and the decision of the european parliament, a

skeptic party, i think. it does not matter who it is solution is not legally binding. parliament and the european parliament. we shouldn't prophesies this issue. decide about this. a lot of report for the parliament. missing forces in the balkans and so on. and i we will this report. 1932.

so it was not an easy job. i visited next on, russia ukraine also belarus. and that everybody. then president of ukraine. he arranged a group of scientists to meet me. during the meeting, at the end of the meeting a certain percent of the scientists informed me it was genocide. it was not genocide. they said we don't have an idea. as a politician have had decide whether it was or was not genocide? in my report i said crime against humanity.

well, is going to decide? obviously genocide is not a generic term. it is a legal term. that is why they propose armenia to set up a joint committee. and we should often propose. at this joint community should not be limited. from 3rd countries. in the 3rd countries of the archives. committed in a letter the letter prime minister committed to accept let them

study. let's open the archives and will accept the outcome. easy to convince parliamentarians. adopted resolution. it is not to solve the problem. parliament, some countries in europe, latin america adopted such a resolution, but it did not help. turkey and armenia and turkish and armenian people should pull this issue together. thanks. >> thank you very much. you have peace and stability in europe and chaos in the middle east. do you ever regret having invested so much assets in your middle east policy?

you have a concern that he's going to suck you back into middle eastern chaos? >> thank you very much. european societies have been facing. economic and financial crisis. migration issues immigration and also international crime climate change. defying all the challenges. the most stable continent. ..

>>

>> but the shia militia they left all the heavy weapons behind even the missiles -- missiles. with their russian and american maid weapons in their hands with iraq to hold all this power but yesterday it was al qaeda widow know if there lobate a terrorist organization.

the rich davis is the perfect rows for radicalization and we cannot unite the people of syria anymore because it is killing. they will continue killing people to the chemical weapons and the bombings and there are 2 million civilians. but for that response for the middle east that the lot - - they it these are multi dimensional thank you very much. >> on behalf of everybody

i see 7 acres here. but purposely angry because we talk about how good we are. to talk radio. and we watch fox a lot. i am just sucking up. [laughter] but in the presidential election years it does not do the trick at all. so i into remind everybody here that the acre needs to be directed we lost five out of the last six cycles it is

dash 26 million when it comes to presidential election years we have proven we are a regional party we can win with no agenda. we're not the other guy. we may have screwed up in the past but the america was so down on barack obamacare they did. but that doesn't work presidential election years. but if the electorate looks like it did in 2004 when w1 with as a racial and ethnic numbers is that make up shows up, we will lose. the country is j.j. their culture is changing. and why we need to be angry be coz what agenda is

beating us or what great ideas are beating us? try this on for size. the decide denigrates large and successful to demonize wealth from the spent endlessly remember the vice president's words why should already did not work? remember? upheld hockey we did not spend enough. we never spend enough it is always the politics of yes it is the politics of florida and you cannot disprove it because it is never enough's ever. ever. they exploit class warfare in their counter cultural. you did not build that it

doesn't celebrate success it doesn't celebrate society to started businesses in the basement we would celebrate that. that was demonized last time. with the jealousy campaign to deter the olympics around hired people gave away most of his wealth. to demonize effectively. to redefine religious freedom looking at how the law be. they to us get down. they've marginalized independence. the for six years social

security disability increased fourfold. meritorious claims though whole idea takes hold in our society that is counter cultural. the intent to war on women young winded by it. we let them do it that is why they vote democrat and we have to get it. it makes no sense. but they do it and they wintering at. ask polenta or ukraine. we placate our enemies to create a power vacuum and practice political correctness and cannot call war more.

we send james taylor to paris. [laughter] stick mac is that unserious to do after jordanian fighter pilots? i'll love golf. foot in the white house was in charge of optics that day? what a mess says a soldier could be burned alive if we have a press conference and that's not on your radar? and wrapping this up is the florida senate. i know.

[laughter] but think about this a culture that allows the majority leader to make it up mitt romney did not pay his taxes he just made it up did you see his answer? me one. they one. they are counter cultural. is started with your apology to work and has not stopped the place to with an identity politics and it is not what we are about to. when you think about it at the very essence it is all about jealousy and separation. way need to be there that is why we put it could that

then go door-to-door but we care about what is taking hold in this culture produced a culture war. the top three issues? domestic insecurity cultural is security and natural security. i of a governor reappraise senators and great business people and successful people. the common denominator of every person is about success and leading. not starting the presidency with the apology tour making you the person against $40,000 year against the $60,000 a year and i know why brought everybody down. are you increase? good. what to do?

first everybody a understands and i thank you would agree by the way every candidate thinks the same thing. we need to articulate it is okay to clean to your guns or your pluralism to your federalism and okay to cling to your wealth and your success. is o k2 cling to this. [applause] so expose there playbook to define u.s. success in the first president recovers seen that will bring down u.s. exceptionalism it isn't our country. we're pretty bad about taking credit we don't take credit very well. there are young people here.

ago to colleges in the understand what we have done as a party every gun-control initiative is because of the republican congress was the last party dash balanced a budget? the republicans controlling the house. a few months ago the ugly republicans people are dying in the street we don't extend benefits those ugly republicans. they hate to pour people and guess what happened after they stood firm and nobody talks about it? there is an increase because people say we have to go back to work. but we don't take credit for that. charter schools we own a school choice. we own the ability of for kids to go to a legitimate schools and it is not just

discretionary but a constitutional obligation leone did i fought these battles in merrill lynch against the teachers union it is a moral issue. we cannot be surprised when resend kids to dysfunctional schools in the end up in juvenile hall. we cannot be surprised it is unconstitutional and unsafe. those kids to not get a quality education they go into the street and then make the streets of save. we own the issue we own choice we should go to every inner-city ever refer to say your kid is not getting it? common core is not a good idea. looked at were the problem is it is school systems that do not do their jobs. and we stand for and fight for and a talk about to pass remedies for those kids. we own that issue.

we did it before it was cool now everybody talks about it. because democrats say we care about people. guess what it is an issue with the republican governors. a fiscal issue and common sense but most of all it is to define our party because it is all about justice for those under not voting for us that we will just be okay. those of the blue-collar votes really losing. medicare part day we don't like to talk about we went to a market mechanism as republicans redressed

markets i probably have gone too long but we need an american bill of rights and just briefly to talk about an agenda for this cycle for this country or culture what we need now is the freedom based alternative to obamacare it will be decided by the supreme court and we should say if you love obamacare keeping it. if you don't we have an alternative for year-old to find the policy that meets your demands for your family and your kids across state lines and obamacare is no more in a few years. [applause] and to the immigration bill from sovereignty and security. there was a speech about the southern border added is not

serious way to look at this serious issue. what happened to sovereignty and voter identification? where is a racist to require a driver's license? i have seasonal allergies i believe my mother. [laughter] they know who i am gas 1/2 to show for allergy listen? show me that but if i go vote is kryptonite. we don't want to see that. is racist. what? if you want to go see eric holder take your driver's license you cannot get into the department of justice without one. [laughter] [applause] fifty years since moynihan

had the guts to say the black family is in trouble today the white family is in trouble the brown family the american family price spent more time in jail with those in the government's eight they are bad places you do not want to go but trust me the common denominator when you talk to the kids it never changes. i didn't have a father and started with marijuana. i am not preaching i am telling you my experience of public prophesy didn't have a father i started with marijuana. what is left of my resonate is the most important job i have had not a governor or congressman or state legislature by defensive coordinator for the 100-pound cougars.

[laughter] i started as a linebacker coach and was promoted for have coached my 15 year old high-school safety spot over seven years all the way through. the best job i ever had. but after coaching kids believe me you know, how true this is if you watch ted year-old play you can tell which ones do not have a father influence it does not take long and it is not hard it is an epidemic. it is not subject to a federal program there is no federal fatherless bureau. it is a cultural the audio that we need to stop the bleeding to talk about every way every day as leaders. [applause]

how much time? >> seven minutes. >> just a final thought. we built what defines us the fact that this president said you did not build that tells you all you need to know about the mindset controlling this country and the culture. we built this. you did bill that. is okay to clean your herb garden center religion we should be an apologetic. third. and opportunity as the party of leaders but we have to be willing to fight for its. godspeed. thank you very much. [applause]

>> governor thank you so much for all you do. ims state representative kidded day and its unions have to much power in this country and over our government and. were your plans as president of united states to control the union boss power? [applause] >> guess what? run over the president is controls the nlrb and they control the agenda of. is a wholly sincere the area of organized labor to see that intangible way every day.

a republican and will reflect our values of opportunity and freedom. >> i am thinking we have been agenda and we have values. we may have the highest office in the land with the president but i am wondering how successful we will be if the progressives continue to have their control in the department of justice, irs from hhs national labor board, education they're backing the courts with progressives. there is no accountability.

actually they all show contempt for congress with no accountability and they're not held to is a lot or the constitution. even the epa they want the power to tax that is the responsibility of congress. so how would a republican administration tries to curb the other elected or not even named bureaucrats and what they want to do to the american people? >> the nlrb changes overnight it is said direct response it is easy and it is done. here is what i don't understand about 39 republicans not voting for mitt romney. inexcusable.

i don't want to hear anything ever. here's why. barack obama will name hundreds of federal judges and then hundreds more. they make decisions every day they will never suspect. that is the second part of my answer for no other reason like judges to do not want to be legislators. and third this president loses every time he does something extra judicial or extra executives. he loses. the courts have a long losing streak.

sometimes it is in a great answer but it is the truth to the extent for judges to be judges and not frustrated members of congress but that alone is reason to elect a republican president. [applause] >> hq governor. >> all of your comments are well put. we have a tendency to be a nice guy and i am tired of it. [laughter] [applause] let's grab them by the throat of them put them in the mud and do what they're supposed to do. >> my work here is done for protracted anger purpose

for the success to pay the government and what a great success president obama has done in the middle east. [laughter] that he negotiates with iran? and my grandparents to emigrated i'm sorry i have the wrong notes. this says hillary clinton's speech. [laughter] this is not my speech. [applause] forgets that for i will start over. what i really want to talk about is what worries me the most about the president obama legacy think of all the things he has done $18 trillion debt, obamacare, the failed foreign policy he refuses to stand with israel.

the is what the president is doing to redefine america and the american dream. this president seems intent to divide by race or gender or income this is a president who tried to teach us america is about redistribution in more intrusive federal government that is not the american dream my parents taught me. it was that our best-- are ahead of us were the circumstances of your birth to not determined your outcome if you want to work hard to get a great education there is no limit to what you accomplish 1/2 to be born to the right parents or zip code to do

great things for ago this is so important because my parents have lived the american dream for torture briefly share their experience their lives in the house without treading water or electricity and was the only one in the family to get past the fifth grade. we have heard the stories every single day growing up.

driver's license you will have to pick me upon the way to work. [laughter] who does that? and he was so taken by his enthusiasm that is what he did propose six months later i was born i was of pre-existing condition at the time there was no obamacare that means insurance did not cover i was born in the same hospital that my children would be borne. my dad goes to the director after i was born and says my insurance does not cover this birth then he shook hands with the doctor and said i will send you a check every month until the bill is paid in full. no contracts over paperwork for programs just two guys shaking hands and a hospital.

that is the you do things back then. today is more complicated the ad pages and pages of paperwork but hard you pay for a baby anyway? can they take it back? >> you were such but there is a third job that was supposed to be born and he was born at home borough that is a whole other story. raid did not do it on purpose but there's a reason why women have babies. i don't care how tough you thank you are but one guy

[applause] i will be honest i did not appreciate that as a child especially the second everyone i knew was but it was was he was trying to you

teach me and for the children and grandchildren for truck why is that so important? >> we have educational opportunities for every child knows should have the chance and it is not a true professional. >> gore you can save been taking money to a private school but is the rate they're trapped but but we want our children to do better. we have a moral imperative

of the definition of the american dream to work hard and do better. we're also a self-governing republic will have to teach the next generation to think for themselves to make decisions to from the next generation of leaders my refund public education in the first place. to stand in the way of school choice. it is sent complicated but it boils down is to order forcing those follow the school they should follow the child. [applause] and percent of our children are in its charter schools doubling of that percentage over five years. in the macy and we have

statewide school choice parents can send to private or parochial or independent schools and parents tell me this is the first time children have brought home homework or wearing uniforms are going to school beyond high school the first time they feel their children are safe. we have first choice where you can start your day in a public-school and but we have a and i am here to tell you to liberal men and online. in the teachers' union said this. parents don't have a clue when it comes to making dresses. that is what this debate is all about.

so how last president to you go about that? so each state has the option of school choice with vouchers? limited education issue pays state to promote school one of the things to fund-raisers were consulting but on foreign policy your health care or have had but let's thoroughbred the reauthorization of and then

the block prints were eliminated. in following says have dish period stir in the day could then the state's in hidden put their heads to a huge man but but rea don't care

has then but with the common core there will be another version for this isn't the first time and it won't be though last. we need to shrink the size with the republican presidents aged abused louis

but congress could come up to the next term could soon the eric herr trades to focus our souls push ahead and is of better do aluminum end it if we do that to stir the move but with the proper oversight from congress

especially if you look at the pit to asia. it sounded great to but he did not do it. we have an immediate threat with isis in the middle east in the medium term threat about resurgent russia and ukraine but the longer-term threat is the rise of china we have countries like our allies warning us to pay a of a greater role in non-traditional allies that have not bad with america up wanting to take the greater role so a good trade deal is good for national security if done properly. it is the devil and the details but it could be something that happened we need to reassure the administration gets there right to stand up for

american workers this is good for our security and economy in this is especially important to see that spier of influence. this president made it a practice to lead from behind. he has shown over six years richet a problem away does not make us safer or more secure. america of must lead for tribal even a stronger america that is good for the world in the president that you gave the same thing. god bless you. thank-you very much. >> caller:. >> [applause] >> it is great to be here. i was here in in new hampshire back when i was a young man. i was thinking about running

for president i have a fond memory. we used to do coffees and nobody would show what. but standing in the kitchen i have this lady if she will support me. she looked at her watch and said what time will the candidate get here? [laughter] >> i grew up outside of pittsburgh with fed move color is a visit and

interesting place because people fund since those of for bad his father bucchero twosome:and in tamayo coinsurers but it to be very and opinionated but never got the education that she deserved. and her mother barely spoke english. . .

and then they took my district away. the did not want me to go farther. so i. so i decided to run for congress. in 1982 i started my campaign. 1982 ronald reagan was not

a popular man. interest rates were high, inflation was i, employment was high. when he came when he came to ohio no one wanted to appear with him except me because running for congress, i was running on the reagan record. cut taxes, shrink the government, balance the budget. in 1982 running against incumbent democrat democrat, i was the only republican in america that year to defeat an incumbent democrat in the united states of america. it was a great win. when i got there i went to the armed services committee because they did not have any room for this 30-year-old. 30 -year-old. i immersed myself and national security issues was on the armed services committee and that meant i

had to take the resources of america and apply them to the threat that we face as americans. that is precisely what i did in the course of that i was able to travel. what an eye-opening experience, and i remember when we left, when the plane took off the ground and we were headed back to america everyone cheered. they said it would be that way. sent to el salvador. a remarkable experience. before the gulf war looking us at soldiers talking to them about what we should do. a series of things. in congress for 18 18 years -- don't hold that against me. and after six years i got a call one night. the person called me and said, you just selected to serve in the budget committee. i went on that budget

community not because i care about numbers but because the budget committee tells you how you run things. so i knew that i knew that getting my hands on that budget community we could make changes. i was excited and then quickly get frustrated when i saw that politicians were not serious about restoring fiscal discipline. i was in i was in a gas station filling out my tank complaining the somebody. he saw me. listen to you complain but what he going to do about it? i flew down to washington and got my staff together and said, said, listen we we will read a budget for the united states of america. there are there are only five of us. i no we are overstaffed, but i think we can do it. we put together a budget and in that year president

bush had a a budget, the democrats had a budget, the black caucus had a budget and john kasey keller budget. the vote budget. the vote on the budget that year was 405 to 30. i had the 30. my staff is upset. twenty-nine other 29 other people who think we know how to run the united states of america. we're just getting started. for the next ten years of my life i dedicated myself to get into a a balanced-budget the same way i served on armed services. get the services to work together involved in historic changes. seven people more senior. i introducing senior.

i introducing budgets. my hometown newspaper said you keep getting shellacked. i am only a lone wolf. it will work. the harder the harder i worked the more beatings i took the bigger my group got. got. i jumped over the seven people and became the senior republican in 93 and wrote the alternative to bill clinton's tax increase. turns around we won the majority. and he becomes chairman of the budget committee. going to finally get up that mountain. we ended up in a government a government shutdown command i was part of it because the clinton administration wanted to use smoke and mirrors to get to a balanced-budget. don't play games. the government opened up again. the administration approached me and we sat down in secret for a number of months and wrote the

blueprint for the 97 budget agreement. after ten years we pass the agreement and for the 1st time since man walked on the move moon we had a balanced-budget, pay down the largest amount of publicly held debt cut taxes on capitol gains were in balance, had a projected $5 trillion surplus, and american -- america was on the economically. the ten years of working through. i had this ill-fated effort to travel around and see if people would want me. i was me. i was a young man. they said, we like you would come back another day. i like politics. i just walked away from it. i have this surplus and went back to my hometown. you have to understand something the going to blow the surplus.

you have to wake up everyday the republicans spend it all and then some and put us back in the whole. when tragedy. i am out of politics ten years. i do a lot of different things worked at lehman brothers, served on corporate boards command you might recall i was a huge star on fox news where i substituted for the low-key bill o'reilly. in life the lord calls us. my parents, simple blue-collar folks. the united the united states congress working with presidents, including ronald reagan. i had a great career out of politics and felt the call, take the skills and don't apply them to your state. so i ran for governor and wine and beat another

incumbent democrat. it was narrow. when i won my faced some of the hardest times that the state ever had. 8 billion in the hole 20% for hall, 20 percent for general revenue fund. lost 350,000 private sector jobs $0.89 on our rainy day fund and people said there was no way up, and our credit was a risk. i won the election indefinite time for politics i really have not had a lot of reason to practice politics. we went to work at reinventing the government of the state of ohio. some people say you have to raise taxes. but we're going to do is reduce overhead, remake the state will lower the price.

we went to work and brought massive change. at the end of my 1st year my approval rating is 28 percent. you have to work to be that unpopular. but it did not bother me because i was not in the business to be popular. i was in it to try to fix state. four years later and where are we today? from 350000 lost 350,000 lost jobs to a gain of 340,000 jobs over the last four years. [applause] from a billion in the whole now running at $2 billion surplus cut taxes by the most amount of any state in america and killed the death tax and have made significant tax relief for small businesses. our credit has been restored and there's all this has happened as we become more prosperous it is almost like

a mom and dad. my state we have not ignored those who find themselves in harms way. if you have a developmentally disabled child we will help you. if you know someone who is drug addicted, we will treat you. putting you in prison and having you back and forth and back and forth and not dealing with your addiction does not make any sense. if your mentally ill we don't think you ought to live in prison. we had 10,000 ohioans in prison with mental illness. that is just a moral. we're trying to treat the mentally ill. for the working poor, we want them to advance without being hurt because they are trying harder to earn more money. let me tell you whether it

applies to the mentally ill, drug addicted, working poor we are reforming welfare. we expect personal responsibility so that you can walk and realize your god-given purpose. 28 percent approval. in ohio how did he do? i won 86@of 88 counties. barack obama counties. barack obama one cuyahoga county by 40 points, and i carried it. 26% of the african-american vote, 51 percent of the vote for union households and 60 percent of the vote from women. my approval rating today is the same as my distant -- is my popularity was. now it is 28% that don't

like me and 60 60 some do. what is the lesson? ohio is doing better. i'm not going to go to connecticut. why has it happened? people feel the improvement in the economy and hope to get a job. everyone i state, well, not everyone, most people if you are in the minority have have a drug problem can have a problem with all this we're going to include you. if ohio does better, we need to lift everyone. if you lift everyone, you give everyone hope. what is the lesson of leadership? no polls, no the polls, no focus groups, no consultants in the background, none of that. you need to take that

message out and get people who don't agree with you to see the purpose. in our country today we are broken. we cannot figure what to do about immigration, balance our budget. we are heading to $20 trillion in debt. we can figure out how to lower the corporate tax. we can't figure out what to do with our infrastructure. when all that is going on that shows we are confused in the eyes of our friends and emboldens our enemies. let's get more let's get more down to earth. when we cannot do these things our children pay our grandchildren pay for our families are hurt. our communities are hurt. our state's art points i.so

is our country. what i have learned throughout my career balancing a budget, working with the administration after shutdown, what i learned in ohio bringing people together to molière silos. you can't run anything from a silo. we have to realize that we can stand on principle and solve problems in america. if we can deal with our borders and immigration problem, begin to balance our budget and deal with entitlement and a in a fair and direct way to reduce the corporate tax because we work together solve our infrastructure problems, guess what problems, guess what happens? america regains his strength, and i have to tell you, in this time -- and we can america does not get it. we need a strong america to send a message to our enemies and to send a message to our strengths that america's back and be

done. i did it in washington. it happened in ohio. [applause] and my only goal and my only purpose is to build a stronger situation for the people that i serve. and that is why i wanted to come here today to tell you the story. foreign-policy experience, success in washington in historic change for changing ohio and having people say pretty good guy, not perfect, pretty good. where i. where i run for president or not, i want you to think about this because of ohio is a microcosm of america. we wait three days for election results are ohio. i won almost 64 percent of the vote. the issue the issue of solving problems in bringing people together and leaving no one behind only result in a stronger america.

only stand on principle we don't demonize adversaries and opponents. at the end of the day we may be here as republicans. they me down the street as democrats. but what unites us is we are americans. god bless america. thank you. [applause] thank you. [applause] >> we have time for a couple quick questions. back there. >> yes, ma'am. >> daisy from manchester. my question is what are your thoughts? >> i'm all for it. i am concerned about privacy and not just from the government. if we go to a grocery store

they know what i'll your walking down. one of the keys for all of us is something that would protect privacy in light of all of these electronic devices and digital work that goes on this country. there has to be a balance. we can have can have long walks fundamentally we are free. it's an integral part. i don't know what else i i can say to mobile we can talk. >> the last question right here. >> governor, originally from ohio. >> what's that? >> move back.

my wife and i had the pleasure to meet you last time you were here thinking about running. we get to see all the great things we accomplished. a lot of us are feeling the pressure to get behind one of the candidates. while it seems only to some it is not. what what is between here and your decision as to whether you will run again. >> you know what trying to figure out what the lord wants me to do with my life. it is a professor everyone in the room. i want to fulfill my purpose life is short. the next will be accountable for what i did here.

i have a beautiful wife i have to consider all that. at the end of the day you feel this is michael will come back again and again and again. in the meantime not going to change my message ignore people in the. i want. a lot of them on there feet. i want to avoid tough choices. thankfully. i like myself. i'm not heading into some political calculation. isn't it great to be free? [applause] and be respectful for those

who may disagree. i i di spend visible speech blasting barack obama. i want us as a party. they are needed with our conservative government, last resort, not a 1st resort, powerful the 1st resort, powerful the bottom of power to the people in the neighborhoods. we have to when and we're not going to win if we just feel good about ourselves and don't take this message of unity across this great country. i'm so glad i grew up in a a place where i saw people who struggled, blue-collar middle-class, ethnic because it is in my mind's eye and it is about fairness and growth. think about me would you?

don't commit to soon. but as all have a chance to breathe and get out. you know what i look forward to? being in your home again letting you get to know and see me. that's why i love new hampshire. thank you and god bless. [applause] ♪ [inaudible conversations] >> thank you. ♪ [inaudible conversations] >> thank you so much for that warm new hampshire welcome. i'm delighted to be with you i was a little girl my mother on sunday morning elected me and said what you are is god's gift to you what you make of yourself is your gift to god. it seemed like a promise

that i had god-given gifts and the challenges well managed to find and use the. i would go on to enroll in stanford university graduate with a degree in medieval history and philosophy. exactly all dressed up and nowhere to go. i went off to law school. i hate it was cool. i quit after less than a single semester. now i needed to go back and arnold. i started to i started to do full-time what i have done part-time. it was a secretary. i used to be a kelly girl. it helps pay the bills. i typed and filed. kelly girls unite. i answer the phones. i accepted the 1st child those offered to type and

file form nine person relisted from. i have lived all over the world. i no that it is only in the united states of america that a young woman can start is a secretary and go on to become the chief executive of the largest technology company in the world. [applause] and it's possible year because our founders knew what my mother taught me and everyone has god-given gifts. they built a nation on the belief that everyone has the right to find and use their gifts the right to fulfill the potential. that's what they meant when they said life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and that that right god should god should not be taken away by manner government. my husband is the american story starting out as a ton

truck driver and family-owned auto body shop in pittsburgh pennsylvania. i met this morning here in nashville michael buckley who also has lived the american story starting as a dishwasher and now owns five restaurants. i have traveled and lived in spoken to people all across the country. i must tell you i sense a deep disquiet. people fear that we are losing something. they they fear that we're losing the sense of limitless possibility that is always defined this nation. we lose that sense of limitless possibility we're losing record from your. i no i no from experience that there is a look people get their eyes when they accomplish more than i thought was possible.

it is the opposite of that both. i saw the opposite of the dollars eyes as she battled demons of addiction. it is flat look of hopelessness. but it is not just addiction of the subway's waste potential. i see that look into many americans eyes. i. hesiod and the like of men in the central valley whose lives and livelihoods have been destroyed because bureaucrats have decided issue management scarce water there is. i see that flat hopeless look in a young woman whose life has become entangled in a web of dependents from which she cannot escape. escape. have seen it in the eyes of a small business owner gives up. and that flat i'd look of hopelessness cannot find this nation. the truth is our government

has become so big so powerful so costly and so corrupt that the weight of the government is virtually crushing the potential of the people of this nation. [applause] we see it and lackluster economic growth 2 percent. we see it in the fact that our labor participation rates are at levels not seen the mid- 70s. we see it in people's people's lives who are tangled up in the web of dependence the fact that for the 1st time in history we are now destroying more businesses that we are creating. and while we celebrate in the world of technology people like steve jobs and bill gates the truth is this euros of the american economy has always been the

person who opens up the nine person real estate firm the family-owned auto body shop, nail salon restaurant, lawn service can't -- one service company. small businesses and family-owned businesses create two thirds of the knew jobs in this country and employ half the people. only crush those businesses we're crushing the potential of the nation. at the same time, crony capitalism as well. when you have a government that is so big and powerful and costly and complex corrupt only that they can handle it. i no that having been the ceo of the $90 billion business. i could hire accountants and lawyers and lobbyists. the nine person real estate firm, not so much. the consequences when we pass along like dodd frank ten banks too big to fail

became five. meanwhile 3000 community banks or gone out of business because those community banks not big enough for rich enough to deal with all the complexity and power. people fear that we are losing the sense of limitless possibility that has defined our nation and people worry that we are missing something important. what i think people think we're missing his leadership here is the truth -- [applause] is the truth. our government has gotten bigger and bigger every year for 50 years every year every agency has got more money. it has gotten worse under president obama, but it has been getting bad for 40 or

50 years. people people feel disconnected from the political process because they feel like nothing changes. when did we decide we needed the political class? hours was intended to be a citizen government. what we need in this country is citizenship and leadership. i am reminded think about our federal the the difference between management and leadership. managers are managers are people who do the best they can within the existing system. there are managers and business politics, life. they do the best they can. leaders of people who do not accept what is broken just because it has been that way for a long time. now we need the leadership and citizenship to reimagine our government just

because it's so big and powerful and costly corrupt but because it is failing to serve the citizens who pay for it. nowhere is this more clear than in the example of the veterans administration. technology can do amazing things today. i happen to be chairman of opportunity international the largest micro- finance company in the world. i can send a $150 loan to the desperately poor woman but if you are a veteran and have served our nation you have to spend months filling out paperwork and many more months waiting for some bureaucrat to check the paperwork to make sure you aren't already the benefits that you have thought concern for
