0:40weekend the Sunday afternoon we decided to drive the girls down the Mount Vernon
0:45to George Washington's home

0:53you can smell the autumn in the air are two girls are very very different
0:59Catherine the baby whose four she is sweet sweet sweet
1:04she'll crawl into your lap should just hold on Caroline our 7-year-old

2:18the
2:25but this is a real conversation at I kinda wondered if maybe caroline has
2:32been speaking with republican leadership the
2:44maybe she knew something I didn't know you know the reason so many of us are
2:50here
2:50in this great gather because we love our kids
2:54we love our grandkids and this
3:04nation is in crisis this is not a typical time in politics
3:10we're at the and ish
3:13oppress I don't think we've hit the point of no return yet but it
3:19his close it's now or never we either pull this country back
3:27or we risk losing the greatest country in history
3:31or you know today for the first time in history a majority of Americans
3:36believe that our kids will have a worse life than we'd
3:40sixty-five percent that has never been true in history in america
3:46until this instant right now may be the most
3:50on american idea you can imagine I think the central issue in 2016
3:55is going to be
3:58we will reignite the promise of america
4:01how do we get back tonight
4:05fundamental American ideal that our kids let a better life than we did
4:09and their kids will have a better life I'm here today with the word of
4:16encouragement
4:16hope optimise three simple things that we can do
4:21to reignite the promise of america number one
4:27bring back jobs and growth
4:30an opportunity
4:38the many women here understand cause and effect every time we go down this path
4:42Nevada control spending and taxes and regulation
4:45what results is stagnation and misery and Malays
4:50doesn't work on the other hand
4:53the two levers government has to
4:57on leash small businesses and job creation
5:00our tax reform and regulatory reform
5:03every time we put in place tax reform in ragged reform
5:09we've seen incredible growth weather in the 1920s
5:12with the 1960s the 1980s tax reform way right now spend about $500 billion
5:23dollars a year
5:24on tax compliance on lawyers and accountants
5:28that's always do that's about the budget a retired military
5:31the simplest and best tax reform we should adopt
5:37up us we should adopt a simple
5:40flat-tax the
5:50work every American can fill out his or her taxes on a postcard
5:54the
5:59and when we do that we should abolish the IRS
6:03the
6:18there about 90,000 employees at the IRS
6:21we need a padlock
6:24that building the and take every one of those ninety thousand and put them on
6:30our southern border
6:41now to our friends in the media
6:42I say pets somewhat tongue in cheek
6:46but but think about it for a second
6:49imagine you travel thousands of miles in the Blazing Sun
6:53you're swimming across the Rio Grande the first thing you see is ninety
6:57thousand IRS agents
6:59the you turn around and go home
7:12and the second tool for jobs and growth and opportunity is regulatory reform you
7:19know I was out in West Texas
7:21and I ask folks there what's the difference
7:24clean regulators and locusts
7:28said the thing is you can't use pesticide on the regulators
7:34and this old farmer lean back ISE wanna bet
7:40ha
7:47we have seen regulators to San like locus on small businesses
7:53killing jobs all across this country and a simple the most important regulatory
8:01reform
8:02what we need to repeal everyone heard about Obamacare
8:24the second key to reigniting the promise of america
8:28is def and our constitutional rights
8:39all of them we need to defend the first amendment are free speech
8:44are religious liberty
8:54you know all of us our hearts were breaking as we saw what unfolded in
8:59indiana
9:00and arkansas as those states stood up to defend religious liberty in the modern
9:06Democratic Party
9:07in a perfect storm join with big business
9:10to say their commitment to mandatory gay marriage in all 50 states
9:14trumps any commitment to the First Amendment what too long ago
9:21there was bipartisan consensus
9:24on the first met we might disagree between Democrats and Republicans
9:30on marginal tax rates but when it came to religious liberty we stood as one
9:35how far we have come
9:38and let me say Indiana
9:42was a soaring mountains
9:45as Reagan would say a time for choosing
9:49there are candidates running in 2016 even candidates in the Republican
9:54the who in indiana
9:57they were nowhere to be found I can tell you this when it comes to standing for
10:04the religious liberty Americans I will always
10:07always always stand with the first amendment
10:25we need to defend the Second Amendment
10:27the right to keep and now the
10:37couple weeks ago where up in new hampshire went to a firing range my wife
10:41Heidi
10:41was at a follow on a try pad wearing a cap that said arms and facts
10:47we need to defend
10:53the fourth and fifth amendment's our rights to privacy
11:05and we need to defend the 10
11:14are as President Obama calls it the what
11:19the fundamental protection that says
11:21the powers not given to the federal government are reserved to the States
11:26and to the people
11:38that means their core responsibilities the federal government needs to do it
11:41needs to defend this nation and we did
11:43stand with the men and women of our military we need to secure the borders
11:53but they're there are other areas the federal government has no business
11:57being involved in right at the top of that list is education the
12:06and we don't piano every word of Common Core
12:10the
12:20education is too important for it to be governed by an elected bureaucrats in
12:25Washington
12:26it needs to be at the state level or even better at the local level
12:30we have direct control over
12:38and that number three we need to restore america's leadership in the worst
12:44the for the last six years we have seen the consequences that the Obama Clinton
12:54foreign policy leading from behind
12:58does not work
13:06and we cannot win a war on radical Islamic terrorism
13:10with a president who is on willing to
13:13under the words radical islamic
13:17terrorist
13:27instead the president who boycotts prime minister netanyahu imagine america
13:35standing
13:35unapologetically with the nation of Israel
13:47we saw the ugly face an Islamic terrorism
13:50in my home state texas in Garland were to jihadist
13:56cane
14:00thankfully one police officer
14:02help them meet their virgins the
14:16but when given the choice between free speech
14:19and the political correctness refusing to acknowledge radical Islamic terrorism
14:24it is a time for choosing where we stay
14:33just a few weeks ago I was down in Fort Hood where the soldiers who were shot by
14:38Nidal Hasan were finally finally finally awarded the Purple Heart
14:50it took cover five years for that to happen because the Obama administration
14:53refused to acknowledge that was terrorist instead it was workplace
14:59violence now tell you the reason those purple hearts were awarded I was very
15:05proud last year to introduce legislation in the Senate to mandate
15:09that the pentagon award those purple hearts
15:30on the Senate Armed Services Committee we won supportive Republicans and
15:34Democrats over the
15:35active opposition to the Obama pentagon and finally
15:41those awards were given out ideas I shook the hands of the soldiers shut the
15:47hand each wife for child
15:49on the 14 innocent souls who were murdered that
15:53all I could say to them was I'm sorry
15:56I'm sorry this took
15:59this should have been acknowledged the day it happened not five years to
16:12you know the great state of South Carolina plays a pivotal role in our
16:16nation you'll have the blessing and the curse
16:21a being an early primary states
16:25so you're going to see presidential candidates descend upon you like those
16:30federal regulators in locus
16:31my one request as please
16:36hold back on the pesticide
16:40but I'll tell you the responsibility in this great state
16:43in the republican party is to ensure that we nominate a conservative
17:01I
17:05how do you tell because every candidate
17:08and I know there may be 15 20 30 50 making a phone book by the end of it to
17:13tell how many candidates we
17:15but every one of them is gonna say
17:18he did lay on the most conservative guy lever left
17:21I'm pretty confident if you have any speakers today
17:25the study appearance and I'm an establishment moderate who stands for
17:29nothing
17:34federal safety nets so how do you tell the difference
17:39well the Scriptures tell us you shall know them by their fruits
17:52and I would encourage each of you to ask every single candidate who stands up in
17:56front to do you say you the
17:57believe these principles shell wanted you stood up and fought for them when he
18:02blamed for them
18:03what did you accomplish if you say you oppose Obamacare

18:22if you say you oppose President Obama's unconstitutional executive amnesty
