i agree with that and john's question and uvol and it's not just kemp that was on to this. it was abraham lincoln who said insofar as there's any measure that will them lot of the average working man, i am for that measure. and i think that attitude should be at the core of what we're about as conservatives. >> we end on the note that free enterprise is at the center of american culture. it is the essence of opportunity and freedom. entrepreneurship is a question of character and indeed a vehicle on which we will take not the conservative movement bureau america on greater and greater heights and a note on which i'm delighted to leave you today. before we break up i do want to ask you to join me in thanks to the bradly foundation. as many of you know it has been the leading venture phelan throw pist in the cause of philanthropist in the cause of celebrating entrepreneurship, defending free enterprise. this this is something that's been of great benefit to our communities and indeed to the united states so, please join me in thanking the bradly foundation for this conversati

one of the great things i saw was the desk that president reagan used to sign the kemp-roth tax cutshe free market policy set into motion on that very table were responsible for creating 35 million new jobs in america through 1999. this is another part of ronald reagan's legacy. this is a piece of rock from the berlin wall. those walls came down because of ronald reagan's relentless commitment to freedom and insistence on american victory in the cold war. he was unafraid to say the soviets were actually the evil empire. reagan rejected the moral relativism that was blind to the distinction between tyranny and freedom. ronald reagan saw america as a city on the hill set apart pie god, who intended us to be free. and in his first inaugural address he said freedom in the dignity of the individual have been more available and more assured here than any other place on earth. three years later congressman rating the fallen warriors at omaha beach, reagan said we will always remember. we will always be proud. we will always be prepared so we may always be free. today our freedom is defended

and you are right to remind us of jack kemp, because in his every breath, he started with the citizen who had not gotten up the matter yet, -- lkad adder yet, and he will always be an example for us to look up to. >> if we have not gotten across, then we have not done our job. that's exactly the point where they need to speak to the voters. what it means to think about the problems of america is not to stand back and stand at a great distance and think about it. it means to think about the life of a family. it means to think about parents who confronts a difficult balance between the needs a regular families and the needs of prospering and making money. it is a balance that exists at the very core of conservatives and has at the very beginning, this tension of what we think now of social conservatism and fiscal conservatism. that is not a philosophical problem. that exists in the life of every american family, and our effort to think about that and our ems that deal about that -- middle class parents face and inner city families face and in bringing up a new generation of americans an

i am a jack kemp republican.et me say that i would not -- i would want to see language on a resolution -- i would not want to ultimately do anything that would suggest i was insensitive to the historic plight of the african-american community in this country, by a i do believe looking backwards, the discussion of reparations and apologies, without acknowledgment of the sacrifices that have been made to advance the interests of african- americans both legislatively and in the civil war, the extraordinary costs don't necessarily contribute to the better angels of our nature. i think we have a long way to go to achieve the ideal of equality of opportunity in this country, we have come a long way toward a more perfect union and we ought to always acknowledge that. >> the house gop conference member, mike pence has been our guest this week. we will be back with our reporters. >> which political position are the republicans and right now? >> frustrated. if they don't have the numbers. democrats in congress and the whit

i like to be associated as jack kemp did. i learned many lessons from jack kemp in terms of reaching out to minorities, doing whatever we need to do in this country to increase the quality of life in the opportunity for employment, education, regardless of race, color, or creed. host: this coming from one viewer who send in this tweet. this person seems to be most logical republican. how does he get along with his party members? guest: very well. i mentioned in the book that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, i know i testified up there and much of the testimony was very challenging because republicans and democrats have different points of view with regard to some initiatives we undertook in the department of homeland security. with very few exceptions, not only republicans but democrats, i think treated me with the kind of respect and civility for which i will always be most appreciative. it does not mean we agreed a lot, it just means there was a certain tone in the disagreement that i think is the way we ought to

kemp. >> thank you, roy. dave camp from michigan. thank you for your leadership on the solutions group. i want to thank leader boehner and whip eric cantor for their leadership on this issue, as well as all my colleague here and those who aren't here to really make it possible for us to come forward with an american solution to health care. the president said this should have a uniquely american solution. we have an american plan. one that we believe has been said will really focus on affordability, accessibility and availability. and the question is, how do we do that? we think that it's very important that there be a robust waste, fraud and abuse oversight of health care. not only in the government programs of medicare and medicaid, but clearly the due policity that we find in our health care system, we think there should be strong oversight that that will be part of our plan as we move forward. obviously you really can't have a serious discussion about health care reform unless you agree to address the issue of liability reform, d

as my friend jack kemp once told me, remember, we are political adversaries, we are not enemies. third, no value or idea we fault for at the d.l.c. was more powerful or more central to my being than our belief in the american dream. and how could it be any different? my father was an immigrant from eastern europe. my mother was a first generation american whose father came to america as a peddler. we had enough but not a lot. my biggest political thrill as a child was meeting the mayor of south bend when he came to our apartment building to drive a voter to the polls. i celebrated my 50th birthday in the state dining room, at the white house at a party hosted by the president and first lady. i have lived the american dream. [applause] >> that is why i tried so hard from my days in the war on poverty in the 1960's when i met ginger to my time at the d.l.c., to expand the american dream for all americans. i believe that is my responsibili responsibility. simply put, i believe that every american who works hard and plays by the rules should have the freedom and opportunity to rise a

or my old friend jack kemp who recently passed away, who was a strong advocate for african-americans and senator doing -- and for doing things like this and what he saw in the sportesports field for years. and at the negro havel fame, they've got a wonderful museum showing what it took to break through the racial barriers in sports and how positive that was but also how difficult that was during that period of time. all of these i'm mentioning simply because it's part of how difficult it is to get to the point we get to today as a society. these things are -- they do take time and they are difficult and there's a lot of pain and suffering that goes along the way. what senator harkin and i and all the sponsors of this that will be unanimously approved on this senate floor hope that this will be is to all those people and individuals that have had these sort of personal experiences themselves and have felt it themselves, that they will be able to see in this some acknowledgment of what happened to them and, an acknowledgment that it was wrong. and it doesn't fix it but hopefully it doe

. >> john goodman national center for policy analysis, one of the things that jack kemp was so good at was talking to blue collar workers and explaining why capitalism was good for them and their self-interest and except for a few references to headache i haven't heard anything like that on this panel for days. seems to be no real interest in using the conservative point of view to solve the economic problems ordinary americans face. >> governor? >> well, i do all the time, john. i get to do this by example but no examples come to mind right here but i talk to people all the time what it will mean in their life and if we were for no persuasive reasons dramatically raise the price of energy in our state. i talk to them all the time about why higher taxes not only means a bite out of their paycheck but less chance for their son or daughter to get a job, at least in our state, going forward. and so your question is a very important one, i think we probably didn't give the right illustrations but i think you heard each of us in different ways recognize that be credible and really to earn t

ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the atlantic council i'm fred kemp president and ceo and welcome to this evening's commander series with the commander of the united states pacific command admiral timothy keating. i know many of you have attended our commander series on a regular basis. let me just say a couple of words about what this series has been about. we have created with this and i must say it's one of the most popular things we have introduced a public platform for senior u.s. and global leaders to share their views with the washington audience. the programs become an authoritative opportunity for military leaders to shape the security debate in washington and beyond. since the beginning of this series, we've had the commanders of uconm, northcom and two of the most recent commanders in afghanistan. it's a flagship program for the atlantic council and i want to think saab, ab and the ambassador, a board member of the atlantic council for the support of this series. i'm also delighted with the turnout today which says a lot as well about the popularity of the series now. admi

another letter from cbo said yesterday in response to congressman kemp request cbo also expressed doubt about industry stakeholders at the behest of the white house to help hold down health care spending. in that letter mr. elmendorf states and by quote the industry leaders attention to the schools and agreement that significant savings can be obtained are no doubt welcome. however, most of the proposals are steps that do not require the involvement of the federal government or are not specified at a level of detail that would enable cbo to estimate a budgetary savings. in other words $2 trillion may not be there is what cbo is saying. instead of saving $2 trillion savings proposals offered by the health care group might actually end up increasing the cost of health care. i think as we go through this we should adopt one consensus position. do no harm. and in fact cbo raced serious issues lot about what we are doing but about what the white house was able to get in commitments from those in the private sector about changes they could make. now mr. chairman, the president has included in
