12:45 pm
next we will hear from the president of the susan the anthony list. >> the bottom has fallen out of the abortion center war on women strategy. it is just the truth of that women do not agree with the that unlimited and unrestricted abortion is the great liberator for women. not hold and that is why we will not see an election font on the democrat terms in such a manner, where abortion is at the center of its theme. ofrican women and all americans are tired of the politics of division and grievance that have come from that elite guard. listser this, emily's
12:46 pm
endorse women who chose to remain silent on the issue of abortion the selection. that is an heard of. it used to be only republicans in previous elections that did that. and the candidates best campaign consultants told them to button it up on abortion. don't speak with it because you will be out of sync with your constituents. limited abortion as a right. clarity on abortion was the enemy for them. seen hiding from this issue is impossible. these three women were resoundingly defeated. today our more than 200 women speak out. we will work to see another favorite, mary landrieu.
12:47 pm
her attempt to great -- to gain promoting label while abortion say a lot. we believe our ground gain will help her out the door. those candidates suffered a backlash. consider wendy davis in texas. wendy davis ran from the platform of late-term abortion in texas. it was too late to put that back in the box. even the denver post named mark his over-the-top focus on abortion and women's reproductive capacity as the defining point of her life. our candidates stood firm as to avoidonents tended backlash.
12:48 pm
a pro-life mother and military back downfused to from her record, even in the face of outrageous attacks. to clarify his position he directly lied to debate moderators about his position on late-term abortion. that is one way of handling it. kansas literally ran away to ascertain his late-term abortion. men and women and voters alike responded positively to pro-life candidates. to counterstrike the war on with pro-abortion
12:49 pm
incumbents and turned out voters in an unprecedented ground gain kansas.iana and we had 7000 pro-life activists make a million contacts. door,f those were door to human to human, woman to woman interactions about what mattered in their lives and what didn't. it is reflective of the women of whoica, not a powered elite often cap to men and children as obstacles for our success. we will take the commitment for the capability bill. we make sure there is a vote early on. we will take them up on that
12:50 pm
offer and not forget it. hillary clinton said it is not enough to be a woman. you have to be committed to expanding the rights and opportunities for all women. the abortion centered war on women strategy is dead just because of this straitjacket style of feminism that you must complete a test before you can be considered a woman by this small group of women who have been running much of women's politics. it is dead because of the spirit of susan b anthony who cast a vote and was fined $100 for that vote. believed you can never build rights on the broken rights of other human beings. we rise and fall together.
12:51 pm
she did not believe in abortion. she is our inspiration and think goodness we are returning women's politics to her model of what women and politics ought to be. thank you. >> we will hear from cofounder and president of the tea party patriots. >> for republican leaders, speaker john boehner, and presumed majority leader to be mitch mcconnell and the senate, i have two words, earned this. live up to your promises. appeal obamacare. care bill to repeal obama and to let him veto it.
12:52 pm
secure the border and block the president's plan to executive amnesty. we as a country have been for more than two centuries are a nation of laws, not of men. last night in the midst of what should have been a celebration, i had reasons for concern. speaker boehner lays out an agenda for the 114th congress. republicans will move job and energy legislation and tax reform legislation and spending reform legislation. obama care is mentioned nowhere. neither is securing our borders.
12:53 pm
i can tell you having traveled from new hampshire to oregon, from nebraska to texas, from last sixo iowa in the months and working with tea party activists at the local , there were two issues that motivated the grassroots activists that propelled you to victory. one of two things is true. either obamacare and illegal immigration were left out of this press release deliberately or by mistake. speakers a mistake the needs to make that clear in immediately by issuing a revised release on the agenda for the next congress that includes these important issues.
12:54 pm
hand it is done deliberately then clearly we have a problem. issues motivated tea party activists to give their -- to get their neighbors and friends to the polls this election should be the issues congress addresses immediately. the time is now. the american people have spoken. they have decisively rejected these policies. we are calling on congress to act in a manner deserving of their majority. you need to live up to the your promises. you need to earn this. >> thank you. perkins from the family and research council. >> i would like to congratulate the candidates, not only those who won last night but those who
12:55 pm
were in the arena. our system works because people willing to make themselves into thes, to get arena's and take the hits and shots, work hard, raise the money, sell their ideas, and speak with the american people. those wholate all of are candidates last nights in this election. i want to congratulate those who won. i wanted to point out the rnc. not necessarily supporting candidates but laying infrastructure so the party could be successful. covered a lot of ground closing the gap between the republican parties -- republican and democratic parties. this will be the most pro-life congress since roe v wade with
12:56 pm
all most every new gop senator being strongly pro-life. this is significant. liberals will start launching a new battle plan as their fictitious war on women failed to serve as the d kelly -- the decoy they hoped it would be to detract from the failed policies of barack obama. president obama was not on the ballot but his policies were. the american people have chosen to send a message by republican express. they sent a message that americans have had enough of the president's failed policies that have hampered our economy, endangered our national security, threatened our families, and trampled on our religious freedoms. now the ability of the republicans to take and keep this new congressional majority
12:57 pm
and pave the way for the gop to the white house in 2016 will require them to use this majority. they have elected republicans to undo the damage done by this president and return america to a position of strength boast the mess to clean and internationally. we stand ready to work to accomplish these goals of making america an exceptional nation once again. time is not on our side. the policies could truly hurt our great nation. we must immediately begin the work of rebuilding america both mystically and on the foreign policy front. >> thank you. we will take questions. please identyo
