Thats a miracle of modern technology and it will either work or not work. Its very tricky. So somebody may go down, somebody may have a time delay, which is happening with one of our three guests. I guess its analogous to the quadruple somersault ringling brothers done by Miguel Vasquez in 1982. So please bear with us, well have problems from time to tim so please bear with us, well have problems from time to time, but we have an Excellent Team of techies, i know, because i cant understand anything they say. And it is now my pleasure to introduce our interviewer, roger cohen, the op ed columnist for the New York Times. Thank you. [applause] good morning, ladies and gentlemen. So were going to rely on much maligned technology to try and bring this about. And ignore who ever may or may not be listening. I think its fair to say that in the media landscape there is before and after Edward Snowden, his revelations about global n. S. A. Data vacuuming, backed with concrete evidence, the feel
Control. Taken the government into their grip. The spendaholics. Because under the obama administration, they push federal spending up as high as 25 of gdp. Then you add in state and local Government Spending and youre up to 42 of gdp. 42 of everything all of us produced going to work everyday. 42 of the fruits of our likor are sucked up by government program. Do you get 42 of your happiness from government . No, no. In the midst of world war when we were fighting for our survival as a nation, nothing today, justifies government appropriating 42 of the fruits of our labor. Its wrong. Thats right, its wrong. We must put a stop to it. The fact is, that our government has been hijacked by people who dont share our values or value our freedom. The spendaholics are pushing Government Spending up to levels commonly found in european countries. We americans dont want to be europeanized. No. No. In europe people toil to support the state. In america we work to support ourselves. At least thats
Giving a warm colorado welcome to senator tim scott, a true conservative american hero. Thank you. Thank you very much. Im sure that those of you who live in the sixth district will be sending Mike Kaufmann back to congress. And im looking forward to yall sending the great corey gardener to join me in the United States senate. Corey is a good man. We need some help in the United States senate. Anybody realize that . Everybody realizes that. I want to just spend a few minutes talking about how we can make sure that in 2014 we take back the majority in the senate and in 2016 we have an opportunity to make sure that there is a republican in the white house. We need a republican in the white house. When i think about the challenges that we face as a nation, i always go back to the song Amazing Grace. Anyone know the song Amazing Grace . I like that song a lot. I once was lost but now im found. I was blind, but now i see. I thank the lord he saved my soul. Yes, he saved a soul like me. And
My grandparents had the other room. John said you can change all of that through business ownership, and he was so right. One of the reasons why, as you uncover my opportunity agenda in washington d. C. , that i focus so much on the entrepreneur is because ive experienced first hand that when the government steps back and entrepreneurs step in, all things change, that a good economy makes all things possible. The question is what makes a good company. So my opportunity agenda focuses on how do we create a good economy. We all know that tax reform and Regulatory Reform are necessary, key ingredients to that good economy. I cant hire more people and pay higher taxes and have higher regulations at the same time. I can do two out of the three. If you want me as an entrepreneur hiring more people, we have to reduce the cost of doing business. I know you guys in this room are fans of obamacare. Good, good, good. Obamacare spends too much, taxes too much, and it destroys the best Healthcare S
If hed left all that stuff. Why havent we heard from president obama on this . Why hasnt he spoken out on this . Spoke out extensively on that one. I dont think everyone in this room would agree with you he spoke extensively on it. I dont think he cared about Trayvon Martin. All that matters that incident offered him an opportunity to advance a political agenda. This doesnt. There is nothing about this oklahoma shooting that will allow the left or the democrats to advance their political agenda. This harms their agenda. For the latest on this disturbing murder Case Associated press reporter Christine Eaton joins us from oklahoma city. Good evening, kristi. Tell me i know you were in court yesterday. What happened . Reporter good evening. Thanks for having me. Yes, yesterday the three young boys were in court and were charged. Two of them were charged with first degree murder. And one of them was charged with discharging of a weapon and accessory after the fact. Do you know why the thir
