[laughter] but, good morning mr. president, first lady, although the distinguished guests, congress members, everyone here this morning. this is a huge honor for a kid that grew up in kentucky and now resides in franklin, tennessee. i knew about the prayer breakfast. i've heard about it going on since the early 1940's, so i've heard about it for a long time. but i have to tell you a quick story. when the committee called me in, asked me if i would like to come to breakfast, to the president's prayer breakfast, and have breakfast with the president. i said well, they must know it's my birthday.

president obama was there, so was the dalai lama and nascar legend darrell waltrip.l for some opening jokes. >> there aren't that many occasions that brings his holiness under the same roof as nascar. this may be the first. but god works in mysterious ways. so i want to thank darrell for that wonderful presentation. darrell knows that when you're going 200 miles an hour a little prayer cannot hurt. i suspect that more than once darrell has had the same thought as many of us have had in our own lives -- jesus, take the wheel. although i hope that you kept your hands on the wheel when you were thinking that. >>> the president then got serious, condemning violence in the name of religion and talking about how faith can be used to unite us instead of dividing us. >> the torah says love thy neighbor as yourself. in islam there's a hadith that states none of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself. the bible tells us to put on love which binds everything together in perfect harmony. put on love. whatever our beliefs, whatever our traditi

the keynote speaker was nascar driver darrell waltrip. >>> the head of disneyland is speaking up about vaccinations as more children get sick from the measles outbreak. the measles has now hit 14 states. most cases are tied to the california kids theme park. the outbreak has been linked to unvaccinated children. bob iger said the most vulnerable including babies should be kept away from busy public places. he also said it's a good idea to trust scientists and doctors. >> well we're not in the medical profession obviously. we're not doctors. the research that i've seen and whey've read from places like the cdc suggest that getting inoculated is a smart thing and it's a proven strategy in terms of combatting a disease that, you know can be dangerous to young children. so i would -- personally i would advise it. >> parents in california can opt out of vaccinating because of religious reasons, but there's now a big push to do away with that exemption. so far there's only one confirmed case of measles in washington and it's unrelated to the california outbreak. >>> snow snow more snow massi
