Thank you. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. To kickoff the they can call us whatever they want it doesnt matter. The applause we will not be deterred in our mission to pray, to vow and to stand together. I think this weekend it is important to send a clear message to those and those of us who are not going anywhere and not going to wave a white flag or surrender on the issues of our day. No matter how many lawsuits they file or no matter how many investigations they launch and no matter how many threats they make to take our Tax Exemption for leaving the bible we have counted the cost and will not bow and we are committed to stay applause . Allow me to set the stage for the 2019 values voter summit. As you will see, we are setting the stage. laughs it goes without saying that there is a battle for the heart and the soul of our nation. It is a battle that transcends politics and parties and there is no longer skirmish between conservatives and liberals and it is an epic battle between two ideologies, two world views. We must pray like weve never prayed before. We must vote, meaning we must be involved at every level of government. William penn, the founder of pennsylvania, says governments like clocks go from the motion men give them and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined, also. Therefore, governments depend upon men, rather than men upon governments. We must move governments in the right way. applause and we must stand. There is an allout effort to discourage, to disappoint, and to dissuade you and other conservatives. Have you noticed that . The reports from the media would suggest that your labor has been in vain. Well, as you will see this weekend, that could not be farther from the truth. You are making a difference. applause do not grow weary in well doing for in time you shall reap. Earlier this year on the anniversary of the imfamous roe vs wade decision, with the backdrop of the World Trade Center hit in pink, andrew cuomo signed the socalled Reproductive Health care bill more accurately the birthday abortion bill into law. Opening the door to infanticide in america. The response was quick. President trump addressed it headon in his state of the union address, saying this, quote, lawmakers in new york cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby could be ripped from the mothers womb moments before birth. These are living, feeling, beautiful babies who will never get a chance to share their love and dreams with the world. He went on to say, let us Work Together to build a culture that cherishes innocent life and let us reaffirm a fundamental truth. All children born and unborn, are made in the holy image of god. Leadership matters. States responded and planned parenthood lamented, as a near Record Number of prolife laws were passed in the states this year. 58 new prolife laws, many aimed at ending birthday abortion. applause now at the urging of the president , congress attempted to pass a ban on birthday abortion with senator sass and representative ann wagner blocked. Congress has attempted 80 times on the protection act only to be blocked by Speaker Pelosi and her party and thats why weve teamed up with the prolife caucus in the house to help pass a discharge petition that will force congress to stand on the side of life or on the side of death. We are working to pass a discharge petition so there will be a vote on the house floor on the born alive abortion survivors protection act. At present there are 203 members that have signed the discharge petition. 218 are needed. And to aid in this effort we have launched the end birthday Abortion Campaign. How many of you have already participated in that campaign . Our goal is to take 90,000 of these newborn thermal pink and blue baby hats to nancy pelosi and deliver them to her on capitol hill. Babies should be welcomed into the world and protected under our laws. And we are going to send an undeniable, visible message when we cart all 90,000 baby hats to capitol hill. Now, right now our campaign, were over halfway. This represents about 50,000 hats that we have collected in this campaign. Many, Many Americans have given 9 to not only purchase one of those hats, but to fuel the campaign to get to 218 signatures necessary to vote on this bill. We are going to send a message that america demands that we end birthday abortion. And i invite you, i invite you to join with us this weekend and support the end of birthday Abortion Campaign and stop infanticide in america. And then when we stop infanticide, we will continue the march for life until every child born and unborn is welcomed into world and protected under our law. applause with that, it is now my honor to officially open the 2019 session of the values voter summit. Have a wonderful weekend applause and now ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the executive director of the truth and liberty coalition, and general counsel of Andrew Womack ministries, richard harris. Good morning. Excuse me, good morning. Its my distinct honor to introduce our next speaker this morning, the honorable mark meadows, republican from North Carolina. applause a true Freedom Fighter in the United States congress, mark meadows is serving his fourth term representing North Carolinas 11th district since january of 2013. Meadows ran for congress after accumulating nearly 30 years of Work Experience as a small businessman creating growth and value by specializing in startups and business reorganization. During his time in the house, meadows has been a known champion for fiscal responsibility, accountable government, pro growth economic policies, pro family and prolife initiatives and a strong military. Both democrats and republicans alike refer to him as a great leader, a listener, and someone who doesnt back down from a fight. As a result, after just a few years in washington, meadows has risen to be one of the most influential members of congress. In november of 2016 he was elected as the chairman of the House Freedom caucus, an Influential Group founded in january of 2015, consisting of roughly 40 conservative members of congress dedicated to giving a voice to those who feel forgotten by their government. He was reelected as the caucus chairman in january, 2019 and hes led the group through numerous high profile legislative battles, including Health Care Reform and tax reform and as a result, several commentators labeled the House Freedom caucus as under meadows leadership, a group with new clout in washington. He served two consecutive terms as chairman. House oversight and government reform subcommittee on government operation. With oversight of agencies with the office of the president and others. Hes served three terms as a member of the House Foreign Affairs committee with expertise in the middle east and north africa and recognized numerous times for his support of israel including leadership of bipartisan change to condemn the United Nations antiisrael record. Meadowsleadership on capitol hill has been recognized by the american conservative union, National Federation of independent businesses, the National Rifle association, the u. S. Chamber of commerce, the National Taxpayer union. The military Officers Association of america, the nature conservatory, the National Retail federation and on and on. Above all, medadows is a deeply committed christian and demonstrated a devotion to his faith even in the High Pressure environments. One of his accomplished measures is his role in securing the release of miriam who had been in a sudanese prison for practicing her faith. He and his wife have two adult children, blake and haley. Would you join me in welcoming congressman mark meadows. Thank you. Thank you. Please keep your seats. God bless you, it is great to be with you thank you for that welcome. I normally do not get a welcome like that in washington d. C. You know, were here to tell a little bit of the truth about what is going on and im having to leave right after this to go and do an interview with an ambassador that was relieved of her duty as part of the adam schiff impeachment effort. I think its time that we send adam schiff home instead of the president of the United States. What do you think . I think its time. You know, they love to do these things in secret. They love to actually have this secret way of trying to form a narrative to impeach this president and the people of america spoke in november of 2016 and they spoke loudly that we needed change, we need to drain the swamp and President Donald Trump is doing exactly that. He is doing that. Now ive had the opportunity to be the chairman of the Freedom Caucus. Now the Freedom Caucus, for some of you that dont know, you know, we actually started a small group of us that said we needed to get together and you know, it had a few patriots. Patriots like congressman jim jordan from ohio. And im here today to let you know, i am looking for his jacket. I know it is here somewhere. laughs jim is my best friend in congress. There is not a man who is willing to speak the truth in the face of adversity more than jim jordan. And if youre from ohio youre blessed to have him as a member of congress. applause but the Freedom Caucus was designed to give a voice to millions of americans who thought that washington d. C. Had forgotten them. I know all of you who have been actively engaged, have truly sometimes put your life on hold dd and by the way, these teleprompters, they have nothing on them so i just want to let you know, this is not a barack obama speech. All right . So, you know, so if we you know, when you start to look at america and the fact that washington d. C. Has lost its way, it is time that we restore that. We need to have some kind of vaccination for the potomac fever. You know, its amazing when members of congress and senators, they get elected, you go out and you work hard, and you try to make sure that theyre going to make a difference. They get elected, they raise their right hand. They say theyre going to defend the constitution. Theyre going to support your values. They come across the Potomac River and they lose their mind. All of a sudden they well ive said it here before, i might as well say it again. They have the backbone of a banana. When you peel it back, it gets real mushy. It is time that we elect people that have a backbone of steel and that are willing to stand up for the values that our god holds dear. Now theyre trying to do all of this in secret, just a few miles from here this morning. In fact, they issued a subpoena just a few minutes ago to compel the witness to come forward and actually testify, but theyre not seeking truth. Theyre seeking a narrative. Theyre seeking a narrative that theyve already written the final conclusion to. Because they started three years ago. Even before this president was sworn in, they were talking about impeachment and theyre bound and determined to do it and we need to send a clear message, if they do it, we will send them home. We need to send that, now, we are not taking this sitting down or even lying down. Were going to stay in the fight because of people like you that continue to encourage us to stay in the fight. And i can tell you, being a member of congress was never on my bucket list. In fact, i can remember the time that i felt like i was being called to actually run for congress and because it wasnt on my bucket list i actually had a wonderful life in the mountains of Western North carolina. I called my wife that particular day and i said, you know, honey, i feel like the lord is leading me to run for congress. And she said, well, honey, if thats the way you are being led, ill support you in that. And all of a sudden, this sick feeling came over me. Because i didnt like to get up in front of people. I didnt like to be in the limelight, i just like to have a private life that actually, you know, really didnt involve coming and speaking before hundreds and thousands of people. So i got really this ill feeling, so ill that i had to pull over the car on the side of the road and throw up. But sometimes youre called to do something that brings you out of your comfort zone and many of you are here today because youre out of your comfort zone because you love this country and you believe it is worth fighting for and i thank you for that. I thank you for that. So you may have heard about a little resolution thats floating around. The new chairman. Freedom caucus, andy biggs, who has taken over on october 1st has hit the ground running. He put forth a resolution that said we need to censure adam schiff for making up his opening testimony and it is time that we hold him accountable. applause its time that we hold him accountable. Now, there are 104 members that have signed onto that resolution and its growing each and every day and if your member hasnt signed on, you need to call them and make them see the light. And if they dont see the light, you need to make them feel the heat. If you will do that, i can tell you that those back bones that are like bananas start to stiffen up when they hear from hundreds, if not thousands of people from back home. Theres only one thing that a member of congress fears, its being voted out of office and theres only one group of people who can do that. Thats you. We the people. We need to make sure we hold our elected officials accountable. It is time, isnt it . It is time. So that resolution is being put forth and i can tell you right now, when adam schiff starts to make up things and this is being covered and im sure its being tweeted right now. Let me double down, when adam schiff makes up things, its time to call him out for making up things and actually make sure hes held accountable. Its time we hold him accountable. applause now, i was in a transcribed interview the other day, we had ambassador volcker there and they brought him in and actually the democrats wanted to change the rules. They said, well, what we want to make sure of is that we have an unfair advantage. We want to make sure that the well, thats not changing the rules, is it . But they wanted to make sure that the democrats staff and majority of the staff in the house actually had more people in the room to be able to question the witness and that the republicans staff, they didnt want the members of congress to ask questions so they said no member of congress can ask questions. Now, the last time i checked, most of the people thatof 435 in the house and 100 in the senate, theyre the only ones in washington d. C. That were actually elected to represent the people. And yet somehow the Democrats Health it was best to violence people like jim jordan, devin nunes and people who know this subject and adam schiff said we dont want members to ask questions. I can tell you that particular transcribed interview was going so poorly for the democrats after the third hour, adam schiff says im going to break my own rule and ask 25 minutes of questions. Now, you dont hear any of that reported in the media. Why . Because they leak out the Text Messages to give a particular narrative that was not supported by the actual interview that we conducted for over ten hours. If theyre about transparency, lets be transparent, lets let the American People decide for themselves. What do you think . Im also here to tell you that this president is the most prolife president weve ever had in the history of our country, bar none. applause bar none. Hes willing to fight. And when a certain governor from virginia talked about that you need to make someone comfortable before you murder them after theyve been born, this president saw that know the only as offensive, but morally wrong and called it out for what it is, and that is murder. He is willing to stand with us on that issue. But i can also tell you that this president is serious about keeping his campaign promises. You know, early on in the administration, id tell the story and i wont go through all the details today, but i was actually there in the oval office. I got to go to the oval office. I know it comes as a shock to many of you, i was never invited there under the previous administration. laughs but as i went there, there was a huge white board in this side room, just off the oval office. And in that on that white board was every Single Campaign promise that he had made when he had made it and they were going down checking them off one by one because this is a promisekeeping president. He also works harder than anybody ive ever met. Hell work all through the night. I mean, there are phone calls that he makes in the middle of the night. He will oftentimes go on two or three hours of sleep. Now, we saw that last night. He was in minneapolis. Well, theres one conservativeoh, theres three conservatives from minneapolis, so but you know what we had last night was an arena full of conservatives who said that they want their Government Back as well. When they were there, and it was electrifying. Now, were talking about minnesota. Were not talking about alabama. And yet, the same yearning for we the people to take control of what we do is alive in minnesota, in maine, in california, in new york, and in between and everywhere else and if we allow that flame, that little flicker to start to grow into a huge blaze, not only will we win in 2020, but we will win with landslide proportions in spite of what the Mainstream Media and the polls will say today. And i think its time that we put a little fodder on the fire. It is time so i just need to give you a little bit of the backgrou
