got the favored treatment. it was not a place where anything really special -- it was hard-working folks. i got elected to public office even including so much the republican party. i ran for office because i thought i could make a difference. i am a republican. the party has always been my vehicle and has never been my master. ladies like you to help me and go door to door. throughout my entire career, i have been a pretty independent person. i believe in balanced budgets but i believe in cleaning up waste no matter where it is. i was one of the original fighters against corporate welfare in the congress and it was at times a lonely endeavor. i spent 10 years of my life when i was in washington to balance the federal budget. my first budget i presented

after a guy challenged me who said if you don't like what's going on in washington, what would you like to do -- i wrote my own budget. there were votes on for budgets that year, the president's budget, the democratic budget, the black caucus budget, and the case it -- and the john kasich .udget an i had 29 other people who thought it was not right to mortgage our young people's future. i also thought there is a good value which is you don't live in debt. i spent 10 years of my life fighting for that, literally 10 years. in the late 1990's i worked with the clinton administration and i was one of the chief architect of the first time we balance the federal budget since man walked on the moon. we paid down the largest amount of the publicly held debt and the economy was doing very

well3+ . i also was a military reformer. when i first went to congress, the only committee i was on was a defense committee. i found hammers and true drivers and ranches along with a couple of other congressmen the cost tens of thousands of dollars. i went about to reform the pentagon most of my career. people called me and my friends cheap hawks that we were for a strong america but we wanted to make sure we did not waste money there. thatt washington after budget episode, we had a $5 trillion surplus and i decided to leave. i went into the private sector and i felt the call to go back into public service. hopefully, i can get to this in a few minutes -- i ran for governor and the state was in bad shape. we lost 350,000 jobs and were $8 million in the hole in our credit was at risk and 4.5 years later, we are now up 350 thousand jobs and running at 2

billion dollars surplus and have cut taxes by the most amount of any sitting governor including tax relief for small businesses which are the engine of economic growth. [applause] as we have grown and become stronger, -- this is important for me to say to you -- we don't believe that anybody should be left in the shadows. we feel that with more economic progress, people who of mental illness, drug addiction, the working poor, developmentally disabled, the autistic, and our friends in the minority community, that everybody deserves a chance to live out their god-given purpose. we had a reelection and i was able to receive 26% of the african-american vote, 51% of union households, 60% of women and the second-largest electoral victory in modern ohio history. it happened for two reasons --

one was that hope has come back to ohio but the second reason -- i like to think that many people in ohio don't feel as though they are being shut out, that they are being listened to, that they have a chance to get ahead. i think that is what we want in our country. i want to talk to you about something that is, i think, so critically important for me to suggest to you and for you to listen to what i want to tell you now. weekend, there was some articles printed about isis 14 year old12, 13, girls and using them as sexual objects and trading them as an object to their fighters. opinion,esents, in my with the beheadings and attacks

on people of faith, the abuse of women, an attack on western civilization. it's not just a national security threat to us but , peopleg even deeper who want to destroy our very way of life. same weekend, last weekend, i read about two young people who live in starkville, mississippi. i have been there. it's the home of the mississippi state university. it's a very sweet town. the story was about the young man and young woman who were arrested because they were trying to board a plane to make a connection to fly to syria to join isis. let me be clear on the military front -- i have said for a long time now that america as part of a coalition needs to destroy these people.

we need to go and you road them and destroy them. we are either going to do them -- do it now or it will cost us more later. but at the same time i say that, the military effort is only one part of what i believe we all need to think about. why would this 18 and normal,old seemingly two very attractive people wanting to go and join isis? why do we find some of the most successful people we read about -- and we read about them being tries to and what isis offer is a sense of family, a sense of importance, and the ticket to paradise. , distort her's, and murderers and rapists. what about us?

what is happening? i think for a while, western civilization has practiced 2 fundamental objectives. richard cohen of the new york times wrote something about this. freedomne, we worship and i'll mean just freedom to be free but everybody can do whatever they want to do and there is no overarching rule. it is do whatever you want to do. i think about my 15-year-old twin daughters. if my wife and i raised our daughters to do whatever they wanted to do, what do you think would happen? west, there the seems to be an aggressive effort to find happiness. we all want to be happy. youi have to suggest to that we, as human beings who

represent the western ethic and needestern tradition, we to realize we have a purpose here on earth. our purpose relates to healing those who live in our world and i believe that our purpose involves justice in this world. memorial onolocaust the grounds of our statehouse so that every day young people of all ages could recognize what happens with man's inhumanity to man. there is an inscription on one of the walls that says this --" if you save one life, if you save one life, you have saved the world." our responsibility in my opinion is human -- as human beings and someone who has had a lot of experience and seen a lot of success in so many ways in which

we all live together, i believe that all of us have to be a center of justice and a center of healing and to realize that life is not just about us alone. life is about us doing something bigger in our lives for someone else. here.e the former speaker he is a coach. here got a state senator who coached in high school and is now a state senator. their passion was to show young people the way, wasn't it? it wasn't to win necessarily football games are wrestling tournament. it was to build character. some people will say, what is that all about? i think there is some fundamental values we need to think about. i outlined them in my inaugural

address -- personal responsibility -- we cannot make excuses for why things don't work out. the dog ate my homework when out in the fifth grade. secondly, the idea resilience. you get knocked down and you get yourself back up. you, but i'mabout rooting for tim tebow to make the nfl because i would love to see the comeback story. third, empathy. too much anger in america today, too much division. what empathy really is, it's putting yourself in somebody else's shoes and understanding how difficult life can be. i just had a woman the other day tell me that she knows a bunch have grownople who up but have committed felonies. they had nowhere to go. they cannot get work.

they were young when they made a mistake. sometimes we can shake your fist but i think rather than shake your fist, we should thank about how they get up on their feet and live their god-given purpose. think about the people that lose their jobs at 51 years of age. think about young kids are grown up in an environment when they wake up in the morning and they hear gunshots when they go to school. me that as ad young boy, it is a sin johnny not to help people who need help but it's equally a sin to continue to help people who need to learn how to help themselves and we can all be part of both ends of that. then there is the value of teamwork. you want to fix the fence? you want to deal with immigration? you want to balance a budget? you want to deal with entitlements? you want to do any of those things? you have to do it as a team. one party cannot do it all.

we have to do it as a team because while we may be republicans and democrats and liberals and conservatives, above all, we are americans. this is not a game we play in public life. the purpose of it is to give people an opportunity to be lifted. then there's the issues of family. one of the great appeal that they lay out there to these young people -- you can come and be part of something. and i'm not going to apologize for faith. we've run faith to much out of our society. it's not about the don't's. in my opinion, it's about the do's. it's about loving your neighbor, loving people who don't like you. that can be a hard one. take it from me. it's about so many of the good things. so today, i'm walking around this fair, and i see a young man

there wearing an alzheimer's shirt. standing for something, huh? yeah, we do need to double the nih budget and do the medical research, and it should be a priority of the government. i just visited the no labels -- two young guys came scrambling in, and one of these young guys asked if he could take a picture with me because i'm here at this booth and standing up for no labels. earlier today walking through, a young man came up to me wearing a one t-shirt. do you know what that campaign is? i met bono back in the late 1990's, and he said, "i think we should help people in africa who have big debts who will never be able to pay them back, and help those countries get on their feet to save lives.

no handouts, just a hand up." i met with bono. i liked his idea. the song he sings, "i still haven't found what i'm looking for," is not a song about his car keys. [laughter] we worked together in washington, and then president bush, after i left, took up the mantle. because of simple things like vaccinations and mosquito nets and clean water, people on the other side of the globe now have a decent life. you know what? when a young boy or girl dies in africa, we all lose a little bit of ourselves. when we save a young boy or young girl's life in africa, the world moves up. because we are all connected.

what i want us to think about is what about us? everyone wants to run for president. we need to have a strong leader. it's absolutely vital that we have someone who can set the tone and bring us together, but you don't think, do you, that that is the answer? the answer is in this room. the answer is back in my hometown of mckees rocks. the answer is from one part of this country to the other, from one ocean to the other, from one border to the other. it's about us. it's about citizenship. it's about believing that we are the glue that holds america together, not somebody else. government can have its role, and it is important that it has

a role, but we cannot wait for somebody else to mentor a kid, we cannot wait for someone else to grab one of these young people and say, "do not do drugs. it will lead to a life that you will always regret." we cannot wait. i just saw a man over here in the booth, 57 years married, his wife died on the fourth of august. i said, why he was here today, he said, "i cannot stay at home." "anybody looking after you? anybody taking care of you?" i think if we can drive home that we all matter, that we all count, that the strength of this country rest upon us, and our commitment, young lady, our commitment to making a difference. we are not looking for sainthood. i'm the most flawed person in this room, but i'm doing this election and this campaign for

one basic reason -- the lord has been good to me. he has given me some tools, and i have an obligation to use them. people say, "what about these other candidates, what about this guy or that guy? " i do want to thank donald trump because he got 24 million people to watch the debate. that was good. [laughter] [laughter] but why don't we just as people holding office or running for office commit ourselves to just doing the right thing as we see it? realizing that we don't hold the monopoly on truth, that together we can build a stronger country. that's what i'm all about. if i am elected president, you invite me back here, right here, and i will tell you what i'm doing because i never run from my record. i will come right here, and then

i'm going to ask you what you are doing. if we do it together, we will have a stronger country and more inspired people, and that is what america is all about. thank you. [applause] >> bill will ask a couple of questions. >> an era corn and i have not

gotten my ice cream yet. i lay down on a pastor peter -- on a posture pedic. i go to the fair. bill: that was going to be my question. do you always eat like this or is it just because you are at the iowa state fair? kasich: honestly, it's so crazy. do you want to say that again? you wonder what it's like -- for all of you. monday -- or sunday night, i flew to birmingham, alabama, and i went to church there where for -- four little black girls were killed in a bombing in the 1960's. ministers showed up, and the history and the struggle was overwhelming to all of us.

i was there with some friends who traveled with me, and they're sitting on the credenza was a bible that was on the altar that day of that explosion, turned to the 23rd psalm. that is pretty remarkable. the next morning, i got up, and i went to the -- think about this. i went to the university of alabama sportscenter. i graduated from ohio state university. you talk about -- huh? -- tough. the governor of alabama endorsed me for president of the united states. i was flabbergasted. i did not even ask him. he called me up and said he wanted to do it. then we left there, and then we flew to columbia, south carolina, and we had meetings in columbia where i signed to get on the ballot and interview with cbs and some other things, some other meetings, and then we got back on the plane and flew to

myrtle beach. we had meetings there. i had about four meetings there including a forum, and then we flew to iowa. and then tonight, i fly to new hampshire. now if i'm not eating, i ain't functioning, ok? [laughter] there are a couple things you have to do if you are doing this, i'm a believer you've got to be awake. some people want to get 3, 4 hours of sleep. i'm not going there. i want to be rested because i want to be happy when i do this. so i exercise. i eat. i call friends. i say my prayers. i talk to my wife and daughters -- well, you will know how hard it is to get two 15-year-olds on the phone. i had to come, it is a great fair. i had a chance to come here. it's not just great because i am here but ohio state has a great fair.

we had 980,000 people. you will have 1.1 million. i love it. it has been great. and i ain't leaving until i get my ice cream, ok? [laughter] bill: this is a celebration of agriculture. the iowa state fair. what is your vision for agriculture and would you make changes in the usda? mr. kasich: i'm for agriculture, let's be clear. [laughter] we are a big agriculture state, too. it is our largest industry, and oh how -- in ohio. you know, you think about agriculture, and we think about traditional agriculture, but what we really have to begin to news think about what agriculture is going to look like in the next 20 or 25 years. i have the former head of the ohio farm bureau with me, and i believe there are so many products you can come from traditional agriculture that can improve the lives of americans, and i keep pushing our people to think about that, to use universities to do the research, to make sure that agriculture and businesses closely linked together so that we can spawn new industries out of agriculture.

we're lucky in ohio. we found natural gas. one of the great things about that as it is allowing us to become energy independent so we do not have to kowtow to the saudi's anymore when it comes to conducting our foreign policy. it is nice to be energy independent. yes, you can clap for that because it is a good and. -- it is a good thing. i look in industries and ask what are the new industries. what can come from it? back after 9/11 -- i'm giving you a long answer. is it ok if i give you a long answer? after 9/11, i was invited to the pentagon with former secretaries of defense to talk about the threat against us, and i began to realize that people who lived in caves in some ways had a and i suggested to donald rumsfeld that maybe we get some of the best minds in the country to come in. two of the people showed up and called me back and said they want to do it.

i took a group in. two of the guys i took in the went back to california and i went back with them, and they showed up for dinner with their in-line skates tied to the top of their volkswagen. now they tied the top of their skates to the top of the boeing 707. their names are larry page and sergei brennan. they started a little company called google. we need to look into the future on all of these things, agriculture, energy. one other thing we have to do in government, this notion that government cannot work is baloney. just treat it like a business. fix it. i read the other day -- and you know this to be true -- how dare a city keep uber out in order to protect the taxi industry. that's just wrong. are you going to stand in the way of progress? so free uber. [laughter]

bill: you briefly touched on the issue of people who have committed felonies having trouble finding work. this is a country that incarcerates about as many people as any place in the world, should there be changes in the nation's criminal justice system? mr. kasich: let me tell you a bunch of things about that. we have performed our criminal justice system, and i was meeting with attorney generals and other states saying that the system of blocking people up when it is not even appropriate -- locking people up when it is not even appropriate does not make any sense. second, we are performing all of -- reforming all of our systems inside our prisons now where we have a 37% recidivism with national recidivism being 47%. we're giving people a chance to work their way out of prison and work there way into jobs so when they get out, they can find work. let me tell you another thing, i have been criticized by some in my party for having expanded medicaid. i want to talk to you about this

-- we have 80% of the people in our prisons involved in substance abuse. 10,000 people in our prisons have mental illness. let me ask you a question -- does anybody here think we ought to lock up somebody who is bipolar and schizophrenic and put them in prison? we are treating them now in ohio. we are giving them a way to get on their feet. for the drug addicted, we take this money and we rehab -- we brought our substance abuse people right into the prisons, and they work with them and release them into the community so they do not come out and meet the drug dealer on the street corner, and the recidivism rate is 10%. that's a miracle. the fact is we give people a chance. i want to tell you, if you are a drug dealer or gang banger, we will lock you up for a thousand years. that's the way it's going to be. but if you want to try to get your life in order, we're going to give you a chance, and i think that's what we ought to

do. i was with some people the other day, and a guy says, "i'm a conservative -- this guy talking to me, i'm a conservative, but i have a big heart." i said, "why don't you change that? what are you say at this way -- i'm a conservative with a very big heart." because they are not mutually exclusive. so thank you. i'm going to tell you one last story, and then we got to get going. i want to tell you how i got started in politics. i told you about that little town, and i left to go to ohio state, and i was in a dormitory 23 floors high, and i had 15 college roommates. i was there for a short period of time. there were things i wanted to get changed, and my uncle told me favor when the to change anything, start at the top, so i called the president of the university's office and asked for a meeting, and they would not let me in, but i kept calling, and they and only let -- and they finally let me in.

i went in, and the president of the university was a very impressive guy. very tall, a deep baritone voice, big office. very impressive. i gave my concerns to him, and i looked at him and said i had been in school about a month and i was undecided. looking at the rugs, the desk, the furniture, the assistant and all this, maybe this is the job for me. what exactly do you do? [laughter] so he told me about his fundraising responsibilities, his academic responsibilities, and he said tomorrow he was going to fly down to washington and have a meeting with president nixon. i said, well sir, there were a number of things that i would like to talk to him about also. could i go with you? and he said no. i said but if i write a letter would you give it to the president. he had never seen me before and said i guess i could do that. i penned out the letter

basically inviting myself to the white house. sincerely john kasich, ps, if you want to discuss this further, let me know. he carries the letter to washington. a couple weeks later, i go down to my mailbox, and there is a letter from the white house office of the president. i open it up, i go up stairs to my dorm and i call home, and my mother answers the phone, and i said i'm going to need an airline ticket because the president of the united states would like a meeting with me in the oval office. my mom is shouting, "honey, pick up the phone. something is really wrong with johnny." [laughter] i went home at the end of my first quarter, and my parents finally agreed to buy me an airline ticket. i fly down to washington and go through the gates, and i'm sitting on a little bench right outside the oval office. the bench is still there today. a guy walks up to me and says, "young man, you are going to get

five minutes alone with the president of the united states. what do you think? pretty amazing." i'm thinking new jacket, new tie, new pants, i'm not coming out in five lousy minutes. i did not come all of this way. they opened a door, and i walked in, there is the president, and he greets me, and i greet him, and i sit down at his desk. the good news is i spent 20 minutes alone with the president of the united states as an 18-year-old first-quarter freshman in college. the bad news is i spent 18 years in congress, and if you add up all the time i spent in the oval office, i peeked out at the age of 18. i will see you all, thank you very much. [applause]

>> as president, what would you do? mr. kasich: i think special ed has to be taken care of. i want to send the dollars back to states. i think it should not be mixed with others. it should be an element that gets sent back to the state and

not mixed with others. i don't tie you that because it is what you want to hear. thank you. are you kidding? it is unbelievable. to spend all of that time on -- money and research and all that stuff. where those shirts. >> what are your comments on the debate? you were a breath of fresh air. mr. kasich: it was good. all the way from new york? >> you are the first republican -- positive. -- that said something so positive. mr. kasich: where have you been? >> joshua tree. the mojave desert.

mr. kasich: you want to go up north. [indiscernible] mr. kasich: what are you doing now? will be in touch. -- we will be intact.

-- we will be in touch. you are such a young looking girl. that is good. mr. kasich: what are you doing now? >> studying communications and public relations. mr. kasich: what about you? >> i minored in politics and law. a masters in history. thank you. >> i have met all of the candidates. god bless you. mr. kasich: thank you. >> what do you think of the candidates coming out -- >> do you have plans to get big money on a political elections? -- out of political elections? mr. kasich: i have something that makes sense. -- i've got to come up with something that makes sense. >> let's talk to everyone at

once. >> governor, what here in iowa translates to all of the others? mr. kasich: everything i talked about. i do not think people are different no matter where they live. people have the same concerns and want solutions. some people may have a different view of how you solve problems, but in south carolina, i do not treat people different than iowa. everyone has the same concerns. you have to give them your solutions, they may like you, if they like you, great. if they don't like you, you move on. that's the way it works i think. i am free about all of this. talking about polls, or this or that, i do what i think i want to do and stay focused. i am very focused on the big issue. trust and performance.

i do not know who i trust anymore. just because you tell me something, i do not know if i believe it. i think the record matters. i think if you have a good record people look at you a second time. i have been in this race for three weeks, and i am tied for second place in new hampshire because i spent a lot of time there. hopefully we will spend more time in iowa. >> governor, have you had the chance to look at a long-term immigration plan? mr. kasich: i have my own plan. i don't talk about their plans. my plan is to finish the fence, make it clear, once it is done, we are sending you back, no more debate. we have a robust worker programs that people can come in and go back. the 11 -- 12 million who are people if they have not committed a crime, they can pay a penalty and reach legal status.

that is the heart of it. i think it is a common sense approach for congress and the american people. >> you spent a lot of time talking about -- showing there are more pathetic people. other people wondered what you would do to make americans more apathetic? -- empathetic? mr. kasich: it is important that we care about our neighbor. when we do things better -- bigger than ourselves, we get that a section -- satisfaction, don't you? you feel good about doing something good for someone else. we are not looking for sainthood, i am the farthest from it.

i always feel good when people come up to me and say my child was autistic, now i can get insurance. that makes me feel good. i think it is about people realizing they can make a difference. sometimes people feel like the system is so big, i cannot do anything, i think it is vital that people realize that what they do does make a difference. it is in us, we have to bring it back out. leaders can help. everyone can help realize we honor. -- we matter. i will do my job as a president. i will be back on the soapbox. >> she has a treat for you.

it's peanut butter. >> she is giving it to you. mr. kasich: thank you. >> can we get a picture? where is the camera? >> i have a phone. mr. kasich: there we go. >> do you want to take a selfie? mr. kasich: thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. mr. kasich: thank you.

mr. kasich: thank you. >> the sun is coming out. the sun is out. >> good luck, sir. mr. kasich: thank you. >> where is the place? >> right up here. >> here is ice cream. mr. kasich: i want regular ice cream. >> a cohen --cone? mr. kasich: yes.

>> farm strong. mr. kasich: i had a great time here. [tractor noise] >> the door is locked. mr. kasich: can i get up? >> you can get in if you want to the other door. , mr. kasich: how about ice cream? [tractor running]

[tractor running]

>> we have had a good time. now it's beautiful. after it rains. >> they said the temperature will drop. >> that will be good. what will it get to? that will be perfect. we are going right. >> they are getting your ice cream. >> come on, are you kidding me? mmm, really good. where did you get this?

>> right over there. >> wow. its blue bunny. >> where we going? really good. really good. that's the thing that amazes me. your arena. >> there are three point 5 million people in iowa and we have one million of them here. -- there are 3.5 million people in iowa and we have one million of them here. >> are all these cameras for you? when does school start? >> on september 1. >> what great will you be in?

did the senator get ice cream this time? >> i don't know. >> this guy scream is so good. -- this ice cream is so good. >> senator grassley loves ice cream. >> what kind of ice cream does he like? >> anything with chocolate syrup or snickers. >> we had to travel with a list in ourthe dairy queens car so if there was down time and we were nearby, we knew where it was. >> how are you doing? >> this is so nice. >> isn't this beautiful weather now? >what do you think?

>> people like you. >> we have to go to that conference, great job. you inspired me. >> are you kidding me? i had an ear of corn. >> you cannot fake goosebumps. >> don't show that off. >> thank you, i mean it. >> where is bob?
