manufacturing can do in a way that nobody else in the world can do it. and the impact of your success, as i said, goes beyond the walls of this plant. every dreamliner that rolls off the assembly line here in everett supports thousands of jobs in different industriesthe impact of your success, as i said, goes beyond the walls of this plant. every dreamliner that rolls off the assembly line years supports thousands of jobs in different industries all across the country. parts of the fuselage are manufactured in south carolina and kansas. wing edges come from oklahoma. engines assembled in ohio. tails come from right down the road in frederick sen. the people in these communities are benefiting from the work that you do. all of those workers spend money at a local store. they go to restaurants. the service economy does better because you are doing well. what is happening here can happen in other industries.

it can happen not just your but in cleveland, pittsburgh. we cannot bring every job back. -- we can bring every job back. it is getting more expensive to do business in places like china. american workers have never been more productive. companies like boeing are finding out that even when we cannot make things faster or cheaper than china, we can make them better. our quality can be higher. that is what america is about. that is how we are going to compete. [applause] during the state of the income i issued a challenge to american business leaders. i said, ask yourself what you

can do to bring in create jobs here in this country and your country will do everything we can to help you succeed. i am encouraged. we are seeing a number of companies, large and small domestic, but even for and, recognizing -- we're going to open new facilities and create new jobs here in america. this is a good place to work. it is a good place to be. our job as a nation is to make easier for more of these companies to do the right thing. that starts with our tax code. right now, texas -- companies get tax breaks for moving jobs overseas. >> boo. >> companies that stay in america get hit with one of the highest tax rate in the world. that does not make any sense. so, my message to congress is, what are we waiting for? let us get this done right now. let us make some changes to the tax code. [applause]

let us follow some simple principles. first, if you are a business that wants to outsource jobs, that is fine, but you should not get a tax break. that should cover moving expenses for companies that are bringing jobs back home. that is to should be getting tax breaks. [applause] second, no american company should be able to avoid paying its share of taxes by moving profits overseas. my attitude is every multinational company should have to pay a minimum tax. you should not have an advantage by building a plane over there over somebody who is investing here and hiring american workers. [applause]

every penny of that minimum tax should go towards lowering taxes for companies like boeing that choose to stay in the u.s. [applause] number 3, if you are an american manufacturer, you should get a bigger tax cut. if you are high-tech, you should double the reductions you get for making your products here. if you want to relocate in a community that has been hard hit, like factories leaving town, you should get help. financing the equipment or training for new workers. it is time to stop rewarding companies that ship jobs overseas. reward companies that are creating jobs right here in the united states of america. kind risch -- congress should send me those reforms. i will sign them right away. [applause] another thing we are doing to support american jobs is making it easier for businesses like boeing to sell their products all over the world.

two years ago, i set a goal of doubling u.s. exports in five years. we are on track to achieve that goal. we are ahead of schedule. last of member, when i was in indonesia, boeing announced a deal with the help of an export import bank to tell more than an -- to sell more than 200 planes to one of the fastest growing airlines in the world. boeing is one of the largest exporters in america. this is one of the biggest deals boeing had ever done. over the years, it will help support and thousands of american jobs, including jobs here in washington state. i say, i deserve a gold watch because i am selling yourself all the time. [laughter] i will go anywhere in the world to open up new markets for

american products. by the way, i will not stand by when our competitors do not play by the rules. [applause] [cheering] that is why i directed my administration to create enforcement unit that only has one job at -- investigating unfair trade practices in countries like china or places like europe. that is why it is so important for congress to reauthorize the export/import bank. this bank -- [applause] this bank is led by a man who is out there working on behalf of boeing. the export/import banks help companies like this one sell its products. it also helps thousands of small businesses. today, the bank will be

launching a new program to help small businesses get the financing they need to sell more products overseas. i am also instructing the banks to give american companies a fair shot by matching the unfair export financing that their competitors receive from other countries. [applause] you know, american workers you guys, looks like kathleen, you are the most productive on earth. you can compete with anybody. you will outwork anybody as long as low-level -- the playing field is level. you can compete with any worker, anywhere, anytime. it does not matter, if we have a level playing field america will win because we have the best workers. [applause] it is also because we have always believed in the power of innovation. innovation requires basic research.

look at this plane. this was first designed virtually. using the same technology that was developed by nasa. government research helped to create this airplane. i was in there fooling around with those windows where you press them and a dam on their own. i kept on pressing the button. one touch, one finger. the display is in the cockpit -- it is projected on the windshield so pilots do not have to look down. they can maintain their line of sight even as they are getting all of these readings. some of the work, the most advanced work, was done by engineers in alabama who used to work on the international space station. their expertise and a lot of

those ideas came out of government research. we have got to support this kind of cutting edge research. [applause] we need to maintain our innovative edge so that jobs and industries take root here in the u.s., not some place else. [applause] if we want to build an economy that lasts and is strong and has a strong foundation, that helps families get into the middle class and stay in the middle class, we have to do everything to strengthen american manufacturing. we have to make sure we are making it easier for companies like boeing to create jobs here at home and sell our products abroad. we have to keep on investing in american made energy and we have to keep training american workers. above all, we have to remove the values that have made this -- we have to live by the values that have made this country great. these are not democratic values

or republican values, these are american values. [applause] they have seen us through some tough challenges. we have always emerged stronger than before because of these values. we are going to come out stronger than before, this time, as well. i know it because of the people who are here. in december of 2009, the first green minor took off -- dreamliner took off. some of you were out there. i t was a cold, windy day. that did not stop 13,000 employees, all from coming out to sea -- to see the product of

their hard work filling the sky. one of these people what shereen el harri. -- sharon o'hare. she is an executive office administrator for the leaders of the streamliners series. she is basically doing all of the work. [laughter] she has been undergoing treatment for cancer recently. she has our own battle. she is healthy enough to come back to work. that is worth applauding. there are a lot of people who are happy to see you back at work.

as she tells the story about watching the first airplane lift gently off the runway, just the way it was designed to do, she thought about everything that had gone into making this day possible. all of the challenges. all of the setbacks. and that thousands of hours of brain power and manpower and womanpower. [laughter] [applause] [cheering] what she says is, "i had goose bumps and years. we said we would do it and we did." that is a pretty good model. you said you would do it and you did. that is what we do as americans.

that is the spirit we need right nail in this country. -- right now in this country. even in times of sorrow, we reach for new opportunities. we pull each other up. we stay focused on the horizon. that is who we are. that is to we have always been and if we work together right now with common purpose and a common effort, i have no doubt we will build an economy that lasts and we remind the world why the united states of america is the greatest country on earth. [applause] we said it. we will do it. god bless you. god bless the united states. thank you.

you are always so hospitable. thank you so much. tonight, it is my honor to introduce colistin gingrich. i want to say a few words about her. watching her on the campaign trail has been absolutely wonderful. she has put in more hours than you can imagine. she has not complained. she gets up every day and smiles, as she does now. she has always been such a supporter of, father in this campaign. i am thrilled because she is also a "the new york times," best seller. she has a great children's book out. if you have some little ones

here go get her book. [applause] i want everyone to know that she is behind my dad with my dead every day working incredibly hard. please give her a very warm welcome. [applause] >> thank you. thank you for the kind introduction. peachtree city. it is wonderful to be back in georgia. being back home in georgia always makes newt gingrich very happy. we are pleased to be back here. as some of you know, he went to high school in columbus. he taught at west georgia. he represented georgia and congress for 20 years. [applause] starting as a volunteer in 1960, he helped to grow the georgia

gop until the -- into the great party that it is today. we are so proud of our volunteers who have been working diligently at our headquarters in atlanta and throughout the state of georgia. we are grateful for your support. we are engaged in the race because we believe america is at a crossroads and we care deeply about the future of the country. there are only a few months left before the most important election in our lifetime. our only opponent is barack obama. we are committed to removing him from the white house. [cheers and applause]

newt gingrich is the only candidate with the experience and knowledge necessary to rebuild the america we love. [applause] he has a successful national record of creating jobs, balancing the budget and reforming the government. today we need a leader who can clearly articulate why president obama and his policies are wrong for america. [applause] we need a leader who understands that we must contain and defeat our enemies. we need a leader with bold solutions to create a better future for all americans. [applause] i believe that leader is my husband. please welcome former speaker of

the house and the next president of the united states newt gingrich. [cheers and applause] >> first of all, i want to thank all of you for the warm welcome. i want to thank jacki. jackie and our two grand children, i am grateful they are here. some of you may have seen her they were on hand at the -- hannity last night. i have to say they have also been doing more than their fair share. i am grateful for their leadership.

i am surrounded by authors. she also has a two books out and writes a weekly column. we have all of these talented people that we are hanging out with. i want them to stay up here for a couple of reasons. they have been my debate coaches. maggie is my smile coach working on me to smile more. robert who is a chess player has been trying to get me to be shorter and clear in my answers. you can imagine they were both disappointed to see the chicken show up tonight. [cheers and applause] they have been looking forward to having mitt romney and rick santorum come to georgia and have a debate.

it was disappointing when they decided they did not want to run the risk anymore of being outside of their advertising. let me tell you, if you are afraid to debate newt gingrich, you sure can not debate to barack obama. [cheers and applause] i am going to ask them to reconsider and come to georgia. it will be just fine. [laughter] we will be hospitable. frankly, there is something wrong when somebody tries to buy their way to the presidency with a series of negative ads and will not stand up out in the open and defend it. [applause] this is the most important

election in our lifetime because barack obama is the most radical, the most destructive, the most and constitutional president we have ever had. [cheers and applause] when he appoints czars without senate confirmation, he is operating outside of the constitution. when he appoints recess appointments and there is no recess, it is a clear and direct violation to the constitution. [applause] when he declares war on religious liberty, he is clearly violated the first amendment of the constitution. [cheers and applause] when he produces a budget that cripples the military of the united states, he is violating

his duties as commander in chief. [cheers and applause] we have to confront how really important this decision is. not just obama, but the bureaucracy, the judges, the laws, all of the things that have america on the wrong track. the reason we decided to wrong is because we thought it was really vital not just to be to obama but to win a victory based on principle. to win a victory based on solutions. to have the strength of the american people to say to the u.s. congress, we expect you to actually work with the new president. we expect you to actually get things done, not just to bicker and fight all of the time. [cheers and applause] and let my competitors, i have

twice participated in very large agenda elections. in 1980 i was working with ronald reagan. we developed the capitol steps. we came together. he was a clear underdog. we all came together on the capitol steps with gov. reagan. we pledged five major changes. we 16 u.s. senate seats. we stood for something. -- week 16 u.s. senate seats. we created 16 million new jobs. -- we won 6 new u.s. senate seats. you might remember we had a problem with gasoline back then. we were rationing it. i had a friend who was 13 that year.

he was sent out back every morning with a screwdriver. he had to make sure that the car that needed gas had the right license number. [laughter] i will tell you the difference between liberal and conservative. when the conservative here the government has a regulation so stupid we are teaching 13 year olds how to break the rules, the conservative says drop the rule. the liberal says that is why we need a license plate police at every gas station. [applause] in 1994 we developed a positive agenda. we had the largest one party increase in american history. we won control for the first time in 40 years. we actually kept our word and voted on every item in the contract in the first 93 days.

the result was the american people thought we were serious. they thought they could trust us. in 1996, we became the first reelected house republican majority since 1928. [applause] now, i tell you that because i want to run a principled campaign this fall, a very -- i want to run a campaign of a very large ideas. i want to show that over here is obama, over here is gingrich. i want to run with a team that commits that if they get elected and control the house and senate, they will stay in session on january 3. by the time i am sworn in on january 20, we will have repealed obamacare -- [cheers and applause] we will have repealed the dodd-

frank bill that is killing small banks. we will have repealed sarbanes oxley that is -- on january 20 within a couple of hours after being sworn in, we will already be signing three major bills starting to get rid of the obama administration's imprint on the one. [cheers and applause] we will go further than that. on the first day i am president i will sign a series of executive orders. all of them will have been published by the first. the election will be about whether or not to do it. the first executive order will abolish all of the white house czars as of that moment. [cheers and applause]

i will also sign an executive order implementing the keystone pipeline as of that date. [cheers and applause] i want to say to our friends in canada, you do not need a partnership with china. you'll have a new president and agreement. you will be able to build the pipeline right through the united states. [applause] on that very first day, i want to sign an executive order that moves the american embassy to jerusalem and recognizes israel's right to exist. [cheers and applause] we want to run an american campaign. i am running for the republican nomination. the issues i want to run on our american issues.

we want to appeal to every american of every background of every ethnic group in every neighborhood. i will give you a couple of examples. this is the biggest thing that makes me different than my friends running for the nomination. i know how to do large things in washington. i am prepared to be very bold in defining what we need to get done. i know how to get bold things done. i did it working with reagan in the 1980's and i did it as speaker of the house in the 1990's with clinton. it is not talking points are what my consultants gave me. is not a random idea. i know this can be done. i am prepared to commit to you

that we will get it done if you help us get to the nomination. [cheers and applause] we collectively as the american people should demand that washington achieve. the first and most direct relates to national security. look at the miss in the middle east. look at the unreliability of our allies. we need an american energy policy to be independent from the middle east. [cheers and applause] we need an american energy policy so powerful and so compelling that no future president will ever again bowed to a saudi kingdom. [cheers and applause] -- bow to a saudi king. we know this is possible. in north dakota there is an

explosion of oil available. it is on private land and the liberals cannot stop them from developing it. they believe they have 25 times -- not 25%, 2500% more oil reserves in north dakota than they thought they had 20 years ago. the current unemployment rate is 3.5%. that is actually a mistake. there are 16,000 to 18,000 jobs available. they have a mismatch that is really a training problem, not an unemployment problem. revenue from oils have gone up so fast. they have had seven straight tax cuts. they have a multi-billion dollar rainy day fund. you would think that barack obama would look at north dakota and would say, wow. we could create jobs. we could create energy. we could strengthen the national security.

we could get royalties to the federal government. no. this administration is actively trying to slow down and make expense of the development of oil, even on private land. the u.s. attorney for north dakota, obama's appointee, he filed a lawsuit over a eight migratory birds. they have not filed any lawsuits over wind that kills thousands of birds a year. that is a green energy which obama likes. that is a necessary price of being green. they went out of the way selectively. a judge threw it out recently. this is the kind of selective violation of the rule of law. this is as bad as the solyndra case. you had an attorney selectively applying the law to undermine a solution that the american people want but barack obama is opposed to. the secretary of interior announced he wants to establish

new federal rules that will slow down and maybe even stop the development of natural gas and shale which is an enormous success story. has the liberals going crazy because it turns out we do not have peak energy. we now have over 100 years' supply of natural gas. we are about to prove the same thing with oil. we are going to prove there is so much oil available in the united states that it is absurd to talk about pete will. why is this happening? this is the heart of the conservatism i believe in. this is happening because science and technology and on her premiership are finding new and better solutions. -- entrepreneurship is finding new and better solutions. they say we have to regulate the present.

it is exactly the wrong answer. it is an american answer. here is a side effect. as president, i will open up offshore development of oil and gas. i will open up federal lands to develop will and gas. [cheers and applause] -- develop oil and gas. this energy policy will have four goals. one, to make as independent to the middle east and venezuela so we can say to dictators, we do not care what you think. we are not going to tolerate you funding terrorism. [cheers and applause] two, the development of royalties on federal property will be a major source of revenue without a tax increase. the leading developer in north dakota believes we could earn 18 trillion dollars in royalties from oil and gas. that is more than the current entire debt.

although if obama keeps going that will not be true. three, i want the whole country to resemble north dakota. let's get back down to about 4% unemployment. that is where it was when i left office. let's put americans back to work. energy does that. [cheers and applause] there is a fourth virtue out of the energy program. you can see all of this if you go to newt.org. it goes back to something we did in 2008 called "drill here who drill now, pay less." my goal is to get back to $2.50 a gallon gasoline so people can afford to drive. [cheers and applause] now, the news media will be

skeptical. the liberals will be apoplectic. the establishment will be nervous. let me remind you of some facts. when i was speaker of the house the average price of gasoline was $1.13 a gallon. when obama was sworn in the price of gasoline was $1.89. the idea of setting some more as a goal of $2.50 a gallon by producing so much petroleum in the united states the demand is not as big as supply. remember there are two ways to do this. the liberals are trying to drive down demand because they are convinced you cannot have supplied. they're trying to make sure you do not get any supply by making it impossible to go out and develop fields. i want to open up the field dramatically expanding the supply of american petroleum. my prediction is that with a gingrich presidency, by 2020 we

will be the largest producer of petroleum in the world bigger than saudi arabia and russia. [cheers and applause] once you accept the reality. in california there is an estimated 80 billion barrels of oil. there are all sorts of places that liberals do not want to talk about. it destroys their reason for controlling our lives. i would add to the energy program to abolish the cafe standards to allow the auto companies to actually produce the car you want to drive. let me point out. when they made cars smaller and smaller, americans bought trucks. this drives the liberals crazy. how dare we go out and buy vehicles bigger than their bicycle?

i am trying to get across a simple principle. i will let you judge of this is right. i have no problem against people who -- the volt is an interesting car. this is obama's idea of populism. he wants to increase the amount given to every volt buyer to 10,000 dollars. here is my point. you cannot put a gun rack in a vault. -- volt. [cheers and applause] let's be clear what this election is all about. we believe in the right to bear arms, and we like to bear the arms in our tracks. [cheers and applause] -- in our trucks.

if you go to newt.org you will see regulatory reform to get to fulham plummeted as reagan created 60 million new jobs in his presidency, i believe with your help if we can get a congress willing to work with us that we can create full employment in america. our goal should be to bring people back into the workforce. everyone who wants a judge should get a job and there are practical things we can do to achieve that. these are big changes. there are two other places to talk about big changes. we need a president who is committed to protecting religious liberty in the united states period. [applause]

we have had judges for 60 years trying to drive got out of american life. we've had bureaucrats who have had state legislatures and there is a clear conflict under way between secular bigots who will do everything they can to undermine weaken, and cripple religion. the vast majority of americans who believe our rights come from our creator. this is the heart of why want to debate obama. i don't believe he can defend his radical views. i don't believe he can explain -- let me give you two examples -- the declaration of independence says we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. this says two things to me -- every schools should teach the

declaration of independence and should explain what the word ' our creator' news. [applause] means. [applause] >> unalienable means no president, no judge no bureaucrat can come between you and god and that is why obama is a profound assault on american liberty in what he is trying to do. [applause] one of the first executive orders -- this will be work in progress because we will want to study the administration up to the last day -- one of the executive orders will, in one sweeping order repeal every anti-religious act of the obama administration as of the 20th. [applause] the second example of that -- i

urge all of you to read lincoln's second inaugural march 18, 1865. it was shared by four years of war, 627 dead americans more than all our other wars combined, oppressed with the feeling in his own heart that he bore the pain. he writes in the inaugural of 702 words that mentions god 14 times and has two quotations from the bible. i say to my liberal friends -- how would you explain america? and skip 14 references to god and two quotations from the bible in one speech? how can you possibly believe that a real american can be a secular place in which god has no dignity and in which nothing can be mentioned in public and in which only secular

bureaucrats and secular judges define who we are? that is not america. that is an alien country which we will defeat this fall. [cheers and applause] finally, we need to debate this president on his utterly and totally irresponsible approach to national security. no president in my lifetime has as methodically undermined our defense system as barack obama. his budget proposals are devastating. it is inconceivable that we will be safe if he is allowed to carry out his plans. i wear this pin -- this is george washington's commander in chief flag from valley forge. it flew in from of his headquarters during the

revolutionary war. i wear it to remind myself and to remind you that when they wrote the constitution, the man presiding over that meeting had spent eight years in the field as the commanding general. when they wrote the president is commander in chief they had a pretty good idea what commander in chief meant. barack obama is derelict in his duties as commander in chief putting his ideology and ahead of defending the country. [applause] it is great to be home. i believe that i carried fayette county in every election including the ones i lost. [laughter] i felt really good about coming back and being here in peachtree city.

i remember one election in 1990 that was so close that at 2:00 in the morning, i would -- i was still behind running for reelection. randy evans who was my chairman that year called and said don't worry about it. there are four large fayette county precincts still out. [laughter] when they come in, you will win by 2300 votes and he was off by 40 votes. there is a special warm place to come back here. i ran for whip against the white house and one by two votes. i am used to close campaigns. this has been a little bit like riding a roller coaster. in fact, i tell folks that it is a little bit like a roller coaster in disneyland that is in the dark. if you ever ridden space mountain, you don't know what's

coming next, you don't know where you have been and you don't know where you are going. [laughter] the primary in georgia is very important and i need your help. no one should take for granted -- [cheers and applause] this is a wide-open race. the establishment and the elite media had decided that we would inevitably nominate mitt romney. wall street had decided that we were inevitably going to nominate mitt romney. that is now wide open for it is pretty hard to argue after the last few days that he is mr. inevitable. rick santorum has come out of nowhere and we were there this summer when tim pawlenti came out of nowhere. we were there when michelle bachmann came out of nowhere. my dear friend herman cain will

be campaigning with me tomorrow and he came out of nowhere. [applause] then my good friend governor rick perry who endorsed me came out of nowhere. we just kept trotting along. we will see in the next few weeks have mr. santorum does. the fact is, i am the only candidate in this race who has stood nose to nose with presidents of both parties and not to flinch. i am the only candidate in this race -- [applause] i was against tax increases when there were democrats doing it and i was against tax increases when the republicans were doing it because i did not flinch. the only candidates race that has put together national elections that actually changed the direction of the country. i am the only candidate in this race who has put together an

entitlement reform on the scale of welfare of where two out of three people left welfare to go to work or to school and pass the first tax cut in 16 years and the largest capital gains tax cut in history when unemployment dropped to 4.2% for it without comment on, we got the 1997 balanced budget act and the budget was balanced for four consecutive years for the only time in your lifetime. [applause] with your help if you go back, and put this on facebook and tweet it and send out e-mails and call your friends and maybe in an old-fashioned way actually see people - [laughter] make sure they vote with your people -- make sure they voted with your help, we will win super tuesday. then we are back in the game and for the third time, we will be moving back toward front runner status with your help. thank you, good luck and
