and have a system of grading it so you can weed out all those who should never run for president. >> under our rules and i have to think they are legitimate anyone can run for president who has the guts to do it in the american people get to weed them out and they don't do it because of some rational process but because they into it. in the end who has the makings to be president. you make me think of a game that was basically be your own president, a whole series of crises, the reagan library has done this, takes the grenada operation and takes students in and put them in the situation room and says you are going to

get the information they got and you have to make the decision and it is a pretty good ground rule. coming right up. i think i have a signal. >> mitchell sanders. you touched a bit on conservative fiscal policy and conservative attitude toward government deregulation and a larger portion of america is starting to agree with you on that. however, a lot of people with conservatism and social policy. a lot of people consider themselves fiscally but more liberal, how do you combat that and adapt to that. >> it works itself out in different ways. on the one friend you could argue the whole question of gay marriage has moved in your generation towards what we call the left. on the other hand i suggest

that abortion has moved to the right and the development of technologies that allow you to see the baby at an earlier date has had a devastating effect on the acceptability of abortion particularly after the first 20 weeks. these things, it is a more complicated pattern. i also think sometimes you build a majority around issues you can rally a majority. and focus on the ones you win on and not focus on the ones you lose on. what i'm proud of is the speaker helped write the only four balanced budgets in your lifetime and we will get back to that. there are ways to do it that are very real and will do a series of online short courses how to balance the budget and get back to these things, the country is getting right for reclaiming control of its destiny and being honest about

what we have to get done. getting back to where we started, the young americans foundation is important. it is important because we badly need people like yourselves who are willing to learn conservatism, debate conservatism and stand up on campuses and newsrooms and stand up in other settings and in the long run reality gives us likelihood of winning this argument with the left but it takes people like yourselves who are willing to do the work and make the argument and have the courage, i'm honored to be here and thank you for letting me talk. [applause] >> thank you for being here today and watching on c-span. for more information on young americans foundation program
