Professor blum we have a very large christian population. We do not consider ourselves at christian nation, a muslim nation, or a jewish nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values. Closer to home, and this is my concluding point, obama endorsed religion pluralism in 2010, wwhen he proposed to build a mosque to blacks from the new world trade center. This is america, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable. So, diverse or not,...

And a good portion of his skull had been loan off. He was still alive bleeding profusely. A corpsman came with me and shook his head and john knew he was dying and he said to me, please be careful. The hill is mined. His last words were please be careful, colonel. There are times we go to the world war ii memorial and i will find johns name and it will put my hand on it and talk to john. He was so brave and uncaring for himself in caring for me. I wore his blood in my utility uniform for three d...

And we are very honored to have with us well, to start, and i think this is great chronologically, apollo seven astronaut walt cunningham. We will get into some questions, but will was on the apollo seven flight, which was really make or break for the apollo like program. They sent some unmanned ones up and they had the terrible fire on apollo 1. These guys made it happen. We had many legends o...

Died, i get an email from paul. He says just one sentence. I read the book. It is really good. I sent an email back. Paul, i gave you that book in 1977. And you are just reading it . He said, i went to the index and checked what you said about me. [laughter] very typical. He had one more sentence. He said, you know you are number 14, dont you . You are like, what does that mean .

When he was up there, he was thinking about the other side. He made several contacts from the space station. He can talk about that a little. His father, owen garriott, was the first ham operator to communicate from space to earth. I had richard and his father here a year ago and they are amazing. Richard has gone up to the space station, he trained in russia based several setbacks, he was not a nasa astronaut originally because of his eyesight but he found a way around it.

So we practiced surviving in water. One of the fun parts, which you can do for about 5,000, i think, is called zero gravity tra...

Then, send it to the president. I hope it is a more Mature Congress that we see emerging in the next two years. I think emblematic of the situation is an Irresponsible Congress we can see that reflected in his john boehner challenge. It is time for both parties to put aside the bitter partisan battles and get on to the task that they are constitutionally required to do govern and legislate. I think what the American People set in november of both parties is that it is time to see that finally ha...

Against the people who were obstructionist. And the other lesson that i will never forget is that the year following when i ran for reelection, we almost doubled the voter or turnout. Almost doubled the voter turnout from what it had been when i first won. And the lesson that i will never forget and what i believe is that when you stand up for people and you keep your promise, people will, in fact, get involved in politics.
