in the words of langston hughes, she has held fast to dreams. she was inspired at a young age. wellies and children doing , society doing well and everything she's done. she has focused on that. we know she would have made history as a president. we have never had a president who has made their whole career about the empowerment of families and children and i was as i wasd about that excited to have my friend, hillary there, making history as the first woman president. i'm excited and proud because she has such a wonderful team. [applause] tim kaine: there is a beautiful and comical parable in the new testament about a vineyard owner who hires people to work and says, i'm going to pay you this for a full day. he hires people at noon saying i'm going to pay the same for the half-day.

he hires people for one hour and says i'm going to pay you the same. the people who started earlier said, we don't like this. you are treating them the same as you are treating us. i'm going to tell you something, here is what i've come to know so well, the team hillary has assembled over the years of people that are so deeply loyal to her because she is so deeply loyal to them is inspiring. i have seen that same degree of loyalty and compassion and sensitivity extended to the most recent folks who have joined the team. the folks who came to the vineyard with just one hour to go. her loyalty and compassion to people -- that is just something so remarkable. if there with you, there with you. finally, i'm proud of hillary because she loves this country. [applause] tim kaine: nobody had to wonder

about hillary clinton, whether she would accept an outcome of an election. in our beautiful democracy. nobody had to ask that question. nobody had to doubt it. she knows our country for what it is. she knows the system that we have and in its worts and blemishes she is deeply in love with it. she accepts it. she's been in battles before where if it didn't go her way, she accepted it, going back in the next day for the dreams she has felt that -- held fast to. and that love of country is something i think is obvious to everyone. i want to thank hillary clinton for asking ann and i to join this wild ride. we -- about a week before she asked if i would be her running mate and i went to westchester and we sat down with hillary and bill and chelsea and mark and charlotte and aidan for about three hours of conversation to try to determine whether we would be the right people to be on the ticket.

and when we got in the car to head back to the airport after the three-hour discussion i said to ann, i don't know if we are going to be on the ticket or not , but i do know this we are , going to remember that three hours for the rest of our life. now we will remember 105 days that we had with this fantastic couple of public servants. and all of you. for the rest of her life. i will just say this. hillary and i know well the wisdom and words of william faulkner. he said they killed us, but they ain't whooped us yet.

we know that the dreams of empowering families and children remain. and in that important work that we have to do as a nation, it is so comforting even at a tough time to know that hillary clinton is somebody until her very last breath is going to be battling for the values that make this nation great and that we care so deeply about. please join me in welcoming secretary hillary rodham clinton.

and it will be for a long time. but i want you to remember this. our campaign was never about one person or even one election. it was about the country we love and about building an america that is hopeful, inclusive, and bighearted. we have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought. i still believe in america and i always will. if you do that we must accept this result and then look to the future. donald trump is going to be our president. we owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power. and we don't just respect that. we cherish it. it also enshrines other things. the rule of law. the principle that we are all

equal in rights and dignity. freedom of worship and expression. we respect and cherish these values, too. and we must defend them.

barriers that hold any american back from achieving their dreams. we spent a year and a half bringing together millions of people from every corner of our country to say with one voice that we believe that the american dream is big enough for everyone. for people of all races and religions. for men and women. for immigrants. for lgbt people and people with disabilities. for everyone. [applause] ms. clinton: so now our responsibility as citizens is to keep doing our part. to build that better, stronger, fairer america that we seek. and i know you will. i am so grateful to stand with all of you. i want to thank tim kaine and ann holton for being our partners on this journey.

leadership that has meant so much to so many americans and people across the world. and to bill and chelsea. mark, charlotte, aidan, our brothers and our entire family. my love for you means more than i can ever express. you crisscrossed this country on our behalf and lifted me up when i needed it most. even 4-month-old aidan who traveled with his mom. i will always be grateful to the creative, talented, dedicated men and women at our .men and women at our headquarters in brooklyn and across our country. [applause] ms. clinton: you poured your

hearts into this campaign. for some of you, you are veterans. i want each of you to know that you are the best campaign anybody could have ever expected or wanted. [applause] ms. clinton: and to the millions of volunteers, community leaders, activists and union organizers who knocked on doors, talked to neighbors, posted on facebook, even in secret private facebook.

ms. clinton: to everyone who sent in contributions as small as five dollars and kept us going, thank you. thank you from all of us. and to the young people in particular, i hope you will hear this. i have, as tim said, spent my entire adult life fighting for what i believe in. i have had successes and i have had setbacks. sometimes really painful ones. many of you are at the beginning of your professional, public and political careers. you will have successes and setbacks, too. this loss hurts. but please, never stop believing that fighting for what's right is worth it. [applause]

secretary clinton: it is. it is worth it. we need you to keep up these fights now and for the rest of your lives. and to all the women, and especially the young women who put their faith in this campaign and in me. nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion.

[applause] clinton: i know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling. but someday, someone will. and hopefully, sooner than we might think right now. and to all the little girls watching this. never doubt that you are valuable, and powerful, and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams. finally. [applause] grateful for so our country and for all it has

given to me. blessings every single day that i am an american. i believe is firmly as i ever have that if we stand together and work together with respect , our bestfferences days are still ahead of us.

-- they argued that they would win by over 20 points. i predicted tomorrow's victory. i stated immediate polling authorized by the communist government was going to be flat wrong. nicaraguan people were telling the media what they wanted to hear than going to the booth and voting for freedom instead. this is why the pundits got it all wrong last night. they believe the media and their spin, not just on the coronation of hillary clinton, but more important on america's supposedly pdas and of donald trump. campaign, the basket of deplorables. long, they treated trump followers with utter contempt. the left-wing media were getting aid and comfort to hillary clinton, covering up her scandals when they could, favor whenem in her

they couldn't. but don't anyone here deny it. we documented this all season long. we saw what the public saw. ,onservatives hurt reporters calling on the news media to take sides against donald trump. thanks to wikileaks, we saw something else. how the reporters were working side by side with the clinton campaign including donna brazil leaking questions to hillary and line through her teeth on national television denying it and having been caught doing it several times. she's the face of the liberal media 2016. this was a massive repudiation of the press. liberal't believe the media succeeded and we will be unveiling a massive amount of polling data that will document this empirically. the gallup organization released a poll showing trust in the national media has dropped to an all-time low. it dropped 25% in the last year alone. the public knows it is not

getting news from the news media. it is getting left-wing propaganda as we have maintained all along. the second-highest biggest losers last night was the liberal media. as opposed to clinton, their loss continues. they are shocked, quite possibly for good. the honorable and professional journalists working, they do exist. but it's an incredible win for the american people. the leftist media did not decide this election. the american people did. >> adam brandon, president of freedom works. sum this up,n donald trump has said it. it draining the swamp. the wages have remained stagnant for americans. government has continued to grow. we are $20 trillion in debt. something is not working here. this presents us an opportunity. a once in a generational opportunity.

we have the white house, we have the senate, and the courts, probably. i don't want to repeat the same mistakes we had in the bush administration where we grew government and entitlements. -- excuse me. freedom works has long been champion of the house freedom caucus. it's exciting that this new government is coming in and the house caucus will be able to focus on -- water. passing a oversight, sound budget process, and that means getting away from the omnibuses and the continuing resolutions. we will get back to repealing obama care. an economic agenda. thank you. i start coughing. and they will be able to be defined by what they are for, and not what they are against. i also want to make sure that we continue to push the map. states like

pennsylvania that no one expected him to pick up. [coughing] billld like to use this to for 2018. i hope josh mandel is watching the state of ohio. it's a great opportunity for candidates like that to jump in the race. please delay the house leadership races. give us a week or two to sort this out. and please do not do any major pieces of legislation in this process. like the trade you with asia. and i would like to point out certain races like in iowa, congressman bloom. he won by eight points. this was a democrat plus five district. and he was able to win that by eight points. finally, i am calling on conservatives to govern by the rhetoric with which they won.

thank you. don't be concerned about your ability to catch your breath. we are all trying to catch our breath from that spectacular victory yesterday. there are more seats up here if people want to come fill these seats. from thewill hear president of the susan b anthony list. >> good afternoon. what time of day is it? all of our timing is off. we will call it trump lag for a few days. is in the strongest position it has been in and over 40 years since roe versus wade. this election has delivered a very powerful punch. with that has delivered a very , as a mandate to finally beginning, to allow public polls

. a real consensus in this nation to be enacted into law. we are poised to make the biggest legislative advances for the protection of unborn children since roe versus wade. we are teed up to defund planned parenthood. senate, they had the wrong president. we have all that we need now because we have the perfect lineup. we will fight for those 60 votes to enact protection for unborn children. modest proposal that all demographics will support. democrats,anics, republicans, and young people support it. and with the commitments that we , we will be entertaining pro-life supreme court justices. i believe he's the only

presidential candidate to ever the promise in that way. the power of the grassroots is the big story. the power of the pro-life movement on the ground has been the big and giant over the past 4 years, and it culminated in an enormous win in battleground states and those with tight senate races. we connected the largest ground game ever in the pro-life movement. -- we reached 1.2 million people in their homes, including pro-life people who are not normally voting, including hispanics hundreds of thousands, across florida, ohio, and the senate race in missouri. this kind of change in the pro-life movement is a longtime coming. i think that elections lead to

legislation. that is what has been missing for so many years. that is why we are poised to relate believe all of the promises that donald trump made, and along with the leadership in the house and senate, make sure that these promises become real. for anyone who things that the abortion issue is not really salient in this election, i will point out two things. one is that google trends tracked the most commonly searched trends along the way. -- he second debate, it was the second-most googled question. it did not even, in the debate. it was second or first every day up until election day. it may not be that it is the most talked about in networks, because it is a heavy topic, but it is working in the networks of human interaction.

it is very much a salient point for men, women, hispanics -- and the one thing we know for sure is that it was close in these battleground states. also a historic moment in the last debate, something that never happened on the presidential stage, absolute clarity between the two candidates on the abortion issue. described what a partial-birth abortion is, something that most people would rather discuss, because we would all recoil. he said, he may think that is fine, but it is not fine to me. she defended her position and said that an unborn child has no right until birth. that is a contrast that favors us. that is going on offense. that is how we win elections. when we take that leadership person to person, door to door, and voter to filter. -- to voter.

that is why we have this great opportunity to do great work ahead of us. one thing that, is very clear in the republican party is that there will be no more mark kirk's and frank canada's -- that type of pro-choice, pro-abortion leadership is a thing of the past. unfortunately mark kirk did not learn it soon enough. frank hannah has been replaced by a strong and dynamic pro-life woman. plaza live got -- that's all i've got. >> thank you. we will go out of sequence because our next speaker has to catch a plane. the chairman of the faith and freedom coalition. >> thank you very much richard. it is an honored to be here with so many friends that did so much to make this historic victory happen. i would just like to say very briefly that it was my privilege

and honor to become friends of donald trump six or seven years ago, long before he was candidate for president. i had the opportunity to speak with him about these issues of life, of marriage, of the need to reinvigorate our culture, strengthen the family, get an out-of-control government living within its means, and many other issues that i cared about. therefore, once he became the nominee, i was neutral in the primaries. i had no reservations about supporting him for president. i think as the dust is settled and we gather in our nation"s capital, you can see the reason why. this is not a near parochial concern of our organization, this is a man who yesterday, along with many other candidate of like minds, sharing of the same policy positions down ballot generated such a turnout of voters of faith that one out of every three voters told exit

pollsters that they were a conservative christian. those voters voted 79% for donald trump, and only 15% or hillary clinton. the reason why was there because a bright line of demarcation that separated these candidates. on the sanctity of life, it is not true that donald trump had just recently become pro-life. i talked to him about that issue six or seven years ago. he had been pro-life for a number of years. hillary clinton is the most radical abortion candidates any one nominated, on parent -- on planned parenthood, on judges that will honor the constitution and interpret the law rather than legislating from the bench. going to the point, as marjorie made clear, it was clear to millions of voters to release a list of 20 judges from which he

ultimately pledged he would choose to replace for antonin scalia, pledging to repeal and replace obamacare, to be a steadfast friend of israel, and finally, to oppose the iraq nuclear deal -- the iran nuclear deal and prevent the most bloodiest and dangerous regime in the world from obtaining the most dangerous weapons we have known. it happened because one of what these leaders did. i will close by saying this -- there were a lot of awful premature obituaries written by the conservative and profamily movement. we can say this morning, as mark twain did, that the reports of our death has been greatly exaggerated. thank you very much. next we will hear from the

tea party patriots citizens fu nd. >> thank you richard and diana for organizing those. congratulations to president-elect donald trump, and republicans in congress for their victories last night. for the first time in a decade we will have a unified republican control of the white house, of senate, and the house. this gives us an opportunity to make important changes americans so desperately need and so clearly want. we look forward to looking forward with president trump and the republican congress to enact significant changes, beginning within the first 100 days. it is time to deliver. we want to see obamacare revealed. we want to see the border security and immigration laws enforced. we want to see the supreme court vacancies filled with a jurist that it by the federalist society.

we want to see the national debt addressed, and we want to have the economy grow again. in fact, we have an entire legislative agenda called the yellow card, which you can find on our website. over the last three weeks, i have traveled to 17 states, from washington to florida, and states in between, to work with local grassroots activists and talk to voters. everywhere i went with virtually everyone i spoke, i saw hunger for change, based on the faith that no matter how difficult a time we are having as a nation, america's best days are to come if we only have a government that understands the best thing that you can do -- that it can do is return to constitutionally limited government and individual liberty. these are the principles that made our nation great from the start.

now republicans have the opportunity to deliver. look forwardwe to working with them. -- we look forward to working with them. i would like to thank the donors to the tea party patriots citizens fund, to the ends of thousands of activists who allowed us to knock on doors, mail, make thousands of volunteer phone calls and send more than 7 million other calls into wisconsin and four other keys targeted states, florida, ohio, north carolina, and pennsylvania, a state we work hard after the election and did not let up until the polls closed last night. for more than seven years these volunteers have rallied in the ring, knocked on doors in the snow, and made more phone calls land we can count. they organized our neighborhoods for the best this kind of victory. they deserve a measure of the credit, and i want to personally thank them for their support and

continued faith that america's best days are ahead. thank you. next we will hear from the president of club for growth. >> thank you for organizing this. great to be here with everyone. to say that the club for growth had its differences with donald trump would be to state the obvious. we congratulate donald trump and mike pence on their victory. election, the general we never hesitated to crazy positions that trump -- to pra e se the positions that trump took on trade. we made no bones about our support for president-elect trump's plan on tax cuts and scaling back regulations, and has promised to repeal and replace obamacare. and in many key states, the club

for growth acts worked to turn a republican voters that made the difference last night. states like pennsylvania, wisconsin, florida, where the club pac spent millions of dollars on a message of economic conservatism. that message, designed to drive voters to the polls, benefited the entire ticket from top to bottom, as did mr. trump's message. at the club, we are looking forward to working with president-elect trump, his new in ministration, and a republican congress to restore real economic growth. we will support the trump tax-cut agenda, the repeal of obamacare, and the cutting of federal regulations that are killing american jobs. urgeade, there we president-elect trump to immediately negotiate and sign a bilateral trade agreement with

great britain. just as the brits rejected big government in the eu, americans yesterday rejected big government in washington. wouldn't it be great, by entering into the bilateral trade agreement together, america and britain can show the world that free markets beat big government every time? thank you. america,ned women for the legislative action committee. >> thank you richard. thank you all for coming out. it feels like 100 degrees here. it is really hot. first, congratulations to president-elect donald trump and vice president elect mike pence. last night' elections was historic for those other than predicted in the polls and media.

legislative action committee members are more than happy to wait for our first woman president. hillary clinton was not the right one, and we deserve better. as women of faith, mostly evangelicals, we voted not on gender or personality, but the supreme court, the sanctity of life, religious freedom, economic security, and freedom. my full statement is available. i go through things that we have done on the ground. grounded our work in prayer. we call for each of her members across the nation to join us in 30 days of prayer leading up to the selection. we believe in the primer of this prayer and i believe we saw the fruit of those prayers last night. work is just beginning. we will continue to be on our knees before our creator for the future of our nation. we must work hard to champion the issues that brought us out to the polls last night. concerned women for america lac

will roll up our sleeves and begin work on january 21 to confirm the appointment of a constitutionalist supreme court justice. we also fully expect president-elect trump to make a good on his promises to support a permanent amendment, and shift spending from our nation's largest proportion -- largest abortion provider to committee centers that actually care for the poor, but do not commit abortions. these tasks will be made more difficult by the senate's slim margins, but our local efforts will make a difference. concerned women for america will make community-based prayer rallies outside planned parenthood clinics in key states , urging the shift in funding around the country. senators will be put on notice that taxpayer dollars must no longer be used to take life. we look forward to working with leadership to see the end of

this fight in the right to life. thank you. next we will hear from president of research council action. about 2700 years ago there was a king david who wrote, "w eeping is for a season, but joy comes in the morning." for many conservatives, joy awaited them when they saw that hillary clinton was not going to be president. this is a historic moment not just for the conservative movement and even chemicals, but for the country. we have seen a repudiation of not just barack obama's eight years of big statist government, anti-faith, anti-family policies, but a rejection of a court that has acted as an oligarchy for the last four decades.

in fact, as ralph made reference to the evangelical turnout, many evangelicals are encouraged to sit on the sidelines, unfortunately by other evangelicals. fortunately those evangelicals in historic numbers, in fact it more numbers percentagewise voting for donald trump than they did for john mccain, mitt romney, or george w. bush -- understood what was at stake. to go back to what marjorie said, the effect which donald trump closed the deal with evangelicals was at the last debate in the first 15 minutes, when he gave the most concise definition of late-term abortion that any republican or any presidential candidate in the nomination has given. and following up, stating that he would appoint pro-life

justices, we have had -- we have not had republicans willing to do that, saying that they fear the litmus test. that is when evangelicals were confronted with the reality that they had a candidate who met all of the criteria. unlike previous republican remedies, did not fight conservatives over the platform. we go back to mitt romney, john mccain, and even the george bush campaign, who fought conservatives over the platform. donald trump actually helped us. i was a delegate. they helped us form the most conservative party platform. he has pledged to defend, protect, and advanced religious liberty, to support justices that are pro-life, and has also brought close attention to how this administration has used our national military as a laboratory for social experimentation. he has said our military has one

purpose only, not to advance some kind of social agenda, but rather to fight and win wars and keep america safe. if donald trump pursues the agenda that he campaigned on, he will not only be the candidate who enjoyed broad support, launching him into the white house from evangelicals, i believe he will have evangelical support throughout his tenure as president. republicans,the led by donald trump, follow-through on their commitments, we are on the cusp of a conservative generation. the democrat's bench is depleted. they have no leadership. barack obama has taken the party for a joyride in the last eight years, and it has broken down. this will be the republican conservative generation.

thank you tony. we come to the end of the alphabet. we will hear from the national delegate from virginia, and president of liberty consulting. >> it is a pleasure to be here with many of my friends, where we link our shields and fought a good fight. i want to give credit and honor and glory to god first of all for answered prayers. people realize we were moving for two far -- far too far left. donald trump challenged the conservative movement, that is for sure. i wasn't our first pick. 27 years after the berlin wall, today might just be that big of a world event in america. we are honored to stand with donald trump and honored to be his partners and achieve his

agenda. i want to also say thank you to america, who showed up yesterday in the early voting. thank you to the blacks. thank you to the democrats, to hispanics and women. thank you for union members who pulled away from the party who went to far to the left. i really think you. you have grown our movement. you have challenged us to grow bigger and bolder. with donald trump, we can do so much more. we did not know it at the time. let me just say a couple other things. lives of people have been changed by what happened last night, besides the media. think of law enforcement, think of the military. think of military families who send their children overseas to fight and die for our country if needed.

think of renters, think of coal miners, the talk radio people that have been under the gun, but have held steady for a number of us who listened to them for the news other than the mainstream media. think of fbi agents who were bold and courageous. we just thank you for holding steady, all of the small business people who are struggling. i know when i was in virginia working precincts and holding signs on the street, it was a little focus group this last week. i saw so many working men and women, blacks, hispanics, plumbers, wall-fixers, painters -- it was incredible what was out there. it blew my mind and stretched my awareness. i think too many of us in

washington live in a bubble. it is time to listen to the real people. i will close with one request. thankk -- i not only donald trump for the magnanimities in which he spoke to the country last night, but i thank hillary clinton and barack obama for seating to this -- for ceding to this battle. it is not madison, wisconsin today. for some people, the rhetoric is out of control. for some people, there is threatened violence and intelligence. -- and intolerance. i call on democrat leaders to control your groups on the far left and help them stand up to what makes america great, which is the peaceful transformation of power. >> we will now take questions.

please identify yourself very clearly. freedom of faith and coalition is the executive director. tim is here to answer any questions you would care to address to the faith and freedom coalition. yes ma'am? >> does anyone have ideas about catholics in the troubled ministration? -- in the trump administration? [indiscernible] will there be a meeting with him, or some movement of a forming in the end ministration? >> we have some members that wanted to be here today, but were called to work on the transition. [laughter] so the people who could have answered those questions are hard at work on the transition. i think we will have to wait and see what develops. and want to ask about mike pence. many of you were very happy when donald trump chose mike pence as his running mate.

can some of you address what role you think he will play in a couple many of the goals -- in accomplisheding -- accomplishing many of the goals he talked about? >> typing the role that mike pence will play will be similar to what we saw them play as candidate mike pence. that is he put definition around trump's vision. trump said "i'm going to make america great again." like would explain how -- mike would explain how free-market economics, and agenda that is small government and for freedom will make america great again. i think he will be there as a study faithful partner to donald experience from being a house number and as a governor into the room, and share with them, here's how we

really make work the agenda for making america great again. that is what we thought it was a great pick. those of you who know mike, his personality is well suited for that. he is a humble man, strong in his own faith, but also knows what he believes in. i think that will provide a good steady rudder for the upcoming trump administration. i want to add one thing to this. i think mike pence will be one of the most consequential vice president in recent history, for this reason. donald trump comes to washington as the complete outsider who has never run for office before, who has never worked in washington, who does not navigate these waters. mike pence will be that person that does it for him in washington dc. she is the one with -- he is the

one with experience. from my perspective, he has the trump agenda. for those that remember 1980 when ronald reagan came to town, jim baker and company were put in charge of working washington. and he had a different agenda from that of ronald reagan. that became a huge problem for conservatives. mike pence's concern, is a 100% conservative, and will be taking donald trump's populist message to capitol hill. it is going to be very very good. [laughter] >> me just add to that. there are many reasons why conservatives are excited, , nowized by the candidacy the pending trump presidency. i was there for the goldwater and reagan campaign, and there were important conservatives, but they did not dominate the campaign. in the trunk campaign, the

conservatives were the campaign. whether it was kellyanne conway, stephen bannon, mike pence, i mean, has tony made reference to, this was the most conservative republican platform in our history. there is an awful lot for conservatives to be excited about and am looking forward to the future. i am from religion news service. thanks for taking our questions. i would like to ask any a-- ask penny and/or tony about reservations that some evangelical leaders had about donald trump. not just his prior behavior, but that he will actually deliver on what you laid out today. >> i am happy to take a. -- to take that. i was one of many who do not support donald trump in the

primary. i believe that the bumps that we came upon, and the rocking this early in our relationship made us stronger, brought us more together. at the end of it, we understood each other. we understood what he really believed. with clarity we can stand up and say, this is what he thinks on our core issues. he has agreed to pro-life justices and justice. he has agreed to the height amendment, when hillary clinton said the opposite. he understands that we want to shift funding from the nations largest proportion of our to committee services that actually help women instead of taking lives. better, so much so that i took a personal date a week ago and went to trump tower alongside billy graham's granddaughter. the two of us rallied,

evangelical women. i would not have done that if i was not convinced that he meant what he said. if you forget, i will be there to remind him. [laughter] i will just comment on that. penny said, many of us were not there with donald trump in the primary. he had a plurality barely of evangelicals, and that was expansive definition of evangelical. what brought many evangelicals to donald trump was not shared values, but rather it was shared concerns for the country. a choice between hillary clinton who stands 180 degrees from what evangelicals believe.

but donald trump went out of his way to build a relationship with evangelicals. he is a bracing what has done in the past. everybody has past, but we have problems of the future as well. he did something that is very unique. as i mentioned, the three issues, picking april let conservative running mate who had credibility, did not fight conservatives on the platform, and then released a list of pro-life justice names. but he did something else. once he captured the nomination, he did not say, i checked the box and then moving on, he continued through the course of his campaign to communicate with, go to events of, and build upon the relationship with social conservatives. and i use evangelical, that is probably a proper term. restroom
