thank you

0:06

thank you it's good to be here a little bit chilly out when is a summers

0:11

come back some people sometimes ask me why I got involved in politics

0:21

and I used to tell me because I got tired of throwing stuff at my TV

0:25

and that's sort of true but job the more honest answer is that

0:31

I was disappointed I was disappointed in republicans

0:35

who had doubled the debt when we were in charge at double the size and the

0:39

Department of Education

0:41

were supporting things like common core were supporting things like bailing out

0:46

the banks

0:47

asset we need other republicans we need to participate

0:51

I can just complain and I can throw things at my TV

0:55

or I can try to get involved

1:03

I spent a long time training to be an eye surgeon

1:05

practicing medicine I live in a small town in Kentucky

1:10

I loved being there alone being part of the medical community

1:13

and I miss frankly I get frustrated sometimes a washington so

1:18

Sol frustration try to go back to some practice

1:22

do some charity work in Kentucky and last year I was able to go to

1:26

to guatemala University Utah about 200 cataract cases

1:31

one gal prolly never forget he was in his early fifties

1:35

completely law and lost everything

1:40

lost his wife is family had lost forty

1:44

now been taken by church but basically he had lost his life he was a truck

1:49

driver he could do nothing

1:52

and I'll never forget the day after his surgery

1:55

unveiling his passion seeing the smile on his face

1:58

seeing him get on his knees thank God been given decision back

2:02

that kinda stuff you don't see in fact in politics if there ever

2:10

thanking God other thanking God congress' out of session

2:20

one of the things I've been lucky to do in Madison

2:23

I am able to examine the eyes of children babies that are born

2:27

beneath maybe a powder to wonder about two pounds

2:31

are risk for a disease guys call retinopathy of prematurity

2:35

and they can go blind it's not really inside this was an important job

2:39

I did years many people didn't want to do it because

2:42

lot already involved many these people don't pay

2:46

but I felt like I was an important job because I'm about the age will still

2:50

meet somebody who is blind

2:51

right now maturity when it wasn't read

2:54

now we trade ins almost all completely preventable

2:58

we catchin but the thing that strikes me as every time I examine a baby

3:03

some these babies can fit in the palm of my hands and knees or one-pound babies

3:07

and I think to myself do you think

3:11

debbie Wasserman Schultz thinks that this baby has any rights

3:14

and I say that somewhat flippantly

3:19

but I mean it is a very serious question actually most to them do

3:22

once the baby is born I think the baby has rights

3:25

this little tiny one-pound baby there were still providing complete life

3:30

support for

3:31

and that survived only because of all things we can do to help this baby

3:35

survived they say that baby has rights for a seventh-round baby

3:40

they say has no rights and I'll tell you what I'm tired out

3:44

some tire covers retreating on this issue and I'm gonna push back

3:58

these are all easy question let's ask now

4:01

let's ask the debbie Wasserman Schultz in this world when does life begin

4:05

when does the baby have right you know she respond I said is a seven pound baby

4:11

have a right to know what she said

4:12

she said that's between their doctor and really

4:17

a seven pound baby has now right show our step the democrats are now worry

4:23

we've got them on their heels on an issue they try to put us

4:27

our emails on their backpack you know why because

4:31

eighty-four percent of americans not comfortable

4:34

with third-trimester abortion so I say we push them back and we say

4:40

is abortion always okay are there no exceptions to abortion

4:44

let's flip the tables on him and ask them when does life begin

4:48

summer home say in the nursery really so seven eight pound baby has no rights

4:55

whatsoever

4:56

I think we can win this argument I plan on being a big part of it and I'm gonna

5:01

keep talking about

5:10

around the world Christians are being persecuted

5:13

the sad thing is many of them are being persecuted

5:17

with your money we send money

5:21

to countries that persecute Christians ever heard

5:25

Asia be a chippy D is a Christian who lives in Pakistan

5:30

she's been on death row for five years you water problem

5:34

her crime wasn't she went to drink while water

5:37

from a Muslim well as she began bring the water out they began shouting

5:42

death to the crusher they began stoning her they began beating her with sticks

5:48

she's crying out for help when they re chanting

5:52

death to the Christian and as our chanting death to the Christian

5:56

filing the police arrived she thinks she's been say and the rest are

6:01

all the other villagers said she blasphemed against

6:05

against the Muslim religion she was carried off to jail she's been on death

6:10

penalty

6:10

on the death row for five years and meanwhile what do you do

6:15

what are we doing what is congress do they take your money

6:19

we spent billions of dollars we give billions of dollars to Pakistan

6:24

it to cry and it all to stop

6:36

so I introduced an amendment on the foreign relations committee and I like

6:39

to stir things up on occasion

6:41

so I introduced I'm

6:44

my amendment said any country that

6:47

persecute Christians any country the persecutor any religious minority

6:52

any country that puts to death or put people life in prison

6:56

for blasphemy apostasy

6:59

changing religion or interfaith marriage

7:03

that we should give them any money the

7:13

but here's the sad thing and you're going to be part of making the decision

7:17

on who the nominee will be

7:19

who the Conservatives will be put forward as their nominee

7:22

almost no Republicans supported it and no democrat support it

7:27

it lost 18 22 in committee because the unanimous consent that nearly unanimous

7:33

consent in washington is

7:35

send good money after bad were sending it to the so-called moderates in

7:40

Pakistan say

7:41

doesn't look like it's working but that's what's happening

7:47

if I ask you when we polled the crowd how many are for sending money

7:50

to a country to persecute Christians it's gonna be 0

7:54

in washington it's completely the opposite Washington is show up step

7:59

Washington is so broken it's not gonna change is not going to change

8:05

if you knowledge democrat light it's not gonna change if you put up somebody

8:10

who is not dead set on changing Washington

8:14

Washington so horribly broken that I am a big believer that it doesn't change

8:19

and two we filing Center Mall packing and we institute term limits

8:23

the

8:32

they will never balance a budget

8:34

are met these people they are never ever going to balance a budget

8:39

until you force them to when you get a national candidate

8:43

who runs on saying we will have a balanced budget amendment

8:47

and we will force Congress to do their job is when they will finally do it

8:51

NOP for when you become part of a consensus

8:54

when the consensus become so loud and clear that you say

8:57

were selling your home after a few terms regatta force you to balance a budget

9:02

and while we're at it why don't we have you read the bills first

9:13

I introduced last year a bill called stand with Israel at in it what I said

9:18

was

9:19

that the Palestinian authority should not get any money when they're a lot

9:24

with a mall

9:25

once again I'm guessing we won't get many objections to that

9:30

in Washington now I can get a vote on it and Moshe the republicans and most the

9:34

democrats say

9:35

all we have to keep giving money to the Palestinian and I asked why

9:39

why would we give money to a group that is a lot with some of

9:43

boss is launching missiles into Israel when your money

9:47

could actually be Inouye possibly used to buy missiles that are being launched

9:53

against Israel

9:54

anybody restoration how many people think we need to keep sending money

9:57

Houston Washington doesn't get

10:04

they continue as the vast majority position

10:07

I have tried to target countries that chant death to America

10:12

and chat and burn our flag a cab driver said let's don't give money to

10:16

two countries that burn our flag I get about 20 votes

10:20

it's sad but with your help we can do it

10:23

but someone's gotta say something you gotta speak out and say

10:27

countries that persecute Christians shouldn't get

10:30

one Anne our dollars

10:41

to win though we've gotta take our message to people who are

10:44

here that take message to people who don't look like us you may not work in

10:49

the same profession

10:50

who have not been republicans I've got a news flash wheel of

10:55

I love the last two tops we've got to do something different

10:59

if you do the same thing again if you run democrat light

11:02

nothing changes but you also aren't gonna win

11:06

you gotta run somebody who is different you gotta run somebody who says you know

11:10

what

11:11

not only the party of the second amendment we're gonna be the party of

11:15

the fourth amendment

11:16

we're gonna be the party that restrict that respect

11:19

your right to privacy room in the party that says the government

11:23

cavanaugh without a warrant without a judge's signature

11:27

that the government cannot look at your phone records

11:36

we need to be the party of the entire bill of rights

11:39

the bill right isn't so much for the prom queen

11:43

the Bill of Rights is so much for the high school quarterback the Bill of

11:47

Rights is for the least popular among us

11:49

you can be a minority because the shade if your skin

11:53

but you can also be a minority because shade

11:56

your ideology you can be a minority because you teach your kids at home

12:01

or you can be a minority because one of the few people who still believes in

12:05

right and wrong

12:06

we need to protect the rights of the minority

12:17

and when they send the police to your Chargers

12:19

when they send the police in your church ask your minister

12:23
