In a referendum by the end of 2017. And the Prime Minister failed to say last week when he is going to back the stolen cash of the conservative party. When is he going to give it back . That been very active this week. What we need to see is when are we going to get the taxpayers money given back. Never mind a that happened 20 years ago, this happened about 20 weeks ago. Thank you.

Paris in my constituency parents and my constituency would pay for these measures out of their own pocket after the Less Government refused to help. Minister if the prime will support my campaign to continue with this . I will look very carefully at what my honorable friend said. I am a strong supporter of preschools and amenitys and community security. And his constituency and my friend would be happy to look at this issue to see how we can continue to give them support. In the oilicefixing industry that is being investigated does the Prime Minister agree with me it is important to be transparent about the oil and Gas Companies . Have they gotten nothing to say about unemployment and improving education and cap welfare . It pains me to point this out to the honorable lady. Pounds received 32,000 from populated from affiliated, the conservative party get some money to help us get rid of labor. That is the way it works. The labour party, the union to give you money. That is the way it works. She said in this. On website, i am a member of unite. I really raise issues in parliament. They pay the money and they get the results out. That is the scandal. Order. Order. Many more companies in england have paid huge dividends to shareholders and avoided paying tax. And theyre proposing an annual increase of 80 pounds a year. Will the permits are make sure whicho public subsidy will take the profits ahead of taxpayers of his constituency and mine . I was said companies should pay the tax they all. Owe. That is the case. It was be targeted to benefit taxpayers and provide value. We need to look at that carefully. It would be a benefit for london and his constituency is for everybody living in london. We use every tool at our disposal to get the best deal. Will mr. Will progress to ask mr. Crosby the Prime Minister asked mr. Crosby will ask you again. Givesnservative Party Lynton Crosby money and he helps us attack the labour party of a right . It is the other way around. They buy your candidates. They buy your policy.

But texas senator was a kid texas senator was the keynote speaker. It is part of the summer tour. Future stops in New Hampshire and florida. I was traditionally hold the first president ial caucuses. This is part of the 20 16th wrote to the white house coverage. [applause] well, thank you. It is great to be with you. Good afternoon. Thank you for coming out. Thank you for joining me. Thank you for the incredible hospitality. Today is the first time i have been to iowa. It has been a wonderful day. Im struck with the values of iowa and my home state of texas. I would note that we have some friends outside that have a little different view than those of us in here. I am reminded of a few years back where i had the curious opportunity to travel and give the commencement speech to the school of government and if so happened that it attracted protesters at berkeley. They were very upset i have the 10 commandments in texas and they were protesting. My wife upon hearing that issue looked at me and said, youre not nearly important enough to protest. [laughter] everyone of you who is married understands the tremendous role our spouses play in reminding us of our humility. Kids do a good job of that as well. I remember back in the campaign for senate about one saturday morning i was home and doing a radio interview. We got two little girls. Caroline came bursting into the bedroom. She wanted to play with daddy. Heidi jumped out of bed and said, daddy is doing a radio interview. Wait a minute. Caroline crossed her arms and stomped out and said, politics, politics, politics. It is always politics. [laughter] i appreciate the commitment of each of you to politics. And even more importantly, the commitment to changing our country. [applause] everyone of you is here today and you understand these are not ordinary times. We are facing extraordinary challenges. We cannot keep going down the road we are going. We are jeopardizing the future of this great nation. We are jeopardizing the future for our kids. In my view, the men and women in this room are key to helping turn the nation around. I think we should do two things in the coming years. Number one, and defend the constitution. Number two, champion growth and opportunity. Defending the constitution, it is extraordinary right now the assault on the constitution that is coming from the federal government. This administration, the Obama Administration, is the most lawless administration we have ever had. In my short time in the senate over and over again, i have been blessed to have the chance to stand up and fight for the constitution. Early on in my tenure, i had the privilege of standing alongside my good friend, senator rand paul, and participating in a 13 hour filibuster against administrations drone operations. [applause] that was my first time to speak on the floor of the senate. There is a tradition in the senate that junior senators should be seen and not heard. I have not entirely managed to comply with that. [laughter] [applause] but i had respected the tradition that senators would a reasonable time before speaking on the floor of the senate. An initially, i told randy, i have not spoken on the floor of the senate yet. I want to give it more time to respect my colleagues. As if i started, this is one i could not be on the sidelines for as the fight started, this is one i could not be on the sidelines for. I had the opportunity to stand on the floor of the senate and read traviss letter. I had the opportunity to read shakespeares speech. We happy few, we band of brothers. I have the opportunity to read Ronald Reagans 1964 speech. As they say in the beer commercial, it does not get any better than that. [laughter] what we saw that day, and i think it is important to look at what happened because it illustrates the terrain on which we are fighting has happened, when rand started that filibuster, our colleagues but what he was doing was curious. As he stood up there and spoke the truth, one senator after another and another began to join. Then the American People that interested. Thousands upon thousands of americans became fixated by cspan, a phrase does not occur naturally in the english language. [laughter] with all apologies to our friends from cspan who are here today. [laughter] thousands of americans began going online and going on twitter and facebook and speaking out and saying to protect our rights. In the filibuster, i took to the floor and read some actual tweets that have been sent by americans that i am pretty sure the first time that has happened. That means 20 years from now if anyone has a political trivial pursuit game for geeks, i will be that secure answer to be the first one to read a tweet on the floor of the senate. A woman said that she was a grandmother. I have never used twitter before in my life. I signed up today to back up rand. What happened in the course of the day as the American People got engaged and began speaking out, our elected representatives began listening. After 13 hours standing together, we were able to accomplish something that for three weeks the Obama Administration has refused to do and the next day in writing, they admitted that the constitution would put a limit on their authority to target americans. [applause] another example of defending the constitution is the battle that we had in the Second Amendment right to bear arms. Im guessing one or two people in this room might care slightly about the Second Amendment. As you know, following the horrific shooting in newtown, connecticut, the Obama Administration chose to take advantage of that tragedy to push an antigun agenda not to target violent criminals, but to target the Constitutional Rights of lawabiding citizens. I was very proud to work side byside with my friend and your senator, chuck grassley. Helping lead the fight. Chuck grassley, all of you know his leadership, but i will tell you a couple of things about him. Number one, theres no member of the u. S. Senate who is more relentless and more effective on oversight of the Obama Administration. [applause] when the Second Amendment fight started happening, we sat down and wrote together what became the lead Law Enforcement alternative to president obamas bill called the grassleycruz legislation. It focused on violent criminals. We should come down on them like a ton of bricks. They would take the lives of innocent americans. It saves the constitutional right to keep arms from law abiding citizens. It illustrates the power of grassroots, the power of the American People. I have to tell you that it did not look encouraging. The president had a lot of momentum and conventional wisdom was that his antigun agenda was unstoppable. What happened again as millions of americans began speaking out, calling the representatives and we saw over the course of several weeks as a number of busted together. It started with a letter saying we would filibuster any legislation that would undermine the Second Amendment. What that did is give time and when the grassroots engaged and when American People once again demanded of our elected officials to stand up and do the right thing, protect the constitution, we saw one after the other forcing them to listen to we the people. Every single proposal that would have undermined did the Second Amendment right was voted down on the floor of the senate. [applause] im grateful for Chuck Grassleys leadership. Im grateful for rand pauls leadership tom about im most grateful for leadership in that fight. We could not have gotten any of that done without you. That shifts the second piece. What should we be doing . We should champion growth and opportunity. My top priority is restoring Economic Growth because growth is foundational to every other challenge. You want to turn around on employment, National Debt, maintain the Strongest Military in the world to protect National Security . You got to have growth. The last four years, our economy has averaged 0. 9 growth per year. There is only one other time before world war ii of less than one percent gdp growth, 1979 1982 coming out of the jimmy carter administration, the same failed Economic Policy about outofcontrol spending, taxes, and it produces the exact same economic stagnation. We want to get it going again, get it strong and there are three ways you do so. Number one, you finally rein in outofcontrol spending and unsustainable debt. Back last fall, i have the opportunity to speak at the Republican Convention and i spoke about the National Debt, talked about our two little girls. Afterwards, i went back to the hotel room and it pulled out my iphone again looking at twitter. It so happened that the comedian Paula Poundstone was watching the convention that night. I guess she did not have anything better to do. [laughter] she sent a tweet and said, ted cruz just said when his daughter was born the National Debt was 10 trillion and now its 16 trillion. What the heck did she do . [laughter] heidi and i laughed so hard we almost fell out of bed. Caroline is five years old. In her short life, the National Debt has grown 60 . What we are doing is fundamentally immoral. Our parents did not do that to us. Their parents did that to them. No generation in the history of this country has given their children such crushing debt that it exceeds the size of our entire economy. Our kids and grandkids, if we keep going down this path, they will spend their entire lives not working to meet the challenges they face but to pay off the debt their parents and grandparents racked up because we could not live with it. You want to know why the American People are fed up with politicians in washington, let me be clear, it is politicians in both parties who got us in this mess. [applause] the second element of restoring growth and opportunity is fundamental tax reform. We have all seen the scandals of the irs targeting conservative groups, tea party groups, pro life groups, targeting groups that use offensive words like liberty, constitution, bill of rights. I think its right in recognize those are a threat to what they were doing. As problematic as what they were doing was and let me be clear. Richard nixon tried to use the irs to target political enemies it was wrong and it was rightly decried in a bipartisan manner. When the Obama Administration did the same thing, it is every bit as wrong. As bad as that scandal is, it underscores what i think is a far more fundamental solution. We need to abolish the irs. [applause] let me tell you something. In washington, d. C. , there is a technical term for what i just said. Thats called crazy talk. You know, its the people out there on the fringe. Why . There is an army of lobbyists on k street to make a living putting exemptions into the irs code. There are more words in the irs code than there are in the bible. Not a one of them is as good. Anyone know the shortest scripture in the bible . There has been a lot of weeping because of the irs. Listen. If you have to depend on elected officials in washington, the irs will not be abolished. There is only one way that we will actually succeed in abolishing the irs and that is the same way we won the drone fight in the gunfight. There is no politician in washington who can win this fight. I cannot win it. Chuck cannot win it. The only people who can win it are the men and women across america. If millions upon millions of americans come together as grassroots and demand of our elected officials to stand for principles. Stop going down this road that is bankrupting the country and threatening the future of our kids and grandkids. Thats the anything that can do it the American People demanding it. Im working very, very hard to encourage and mobilize the American People to do exactly that. The third way we restore Economic Growth is Regulatory Reform, reducing the army a regulators, like locusts. Actually, locusts are more friendly. [laughter] you can use pesticide against them. It does not work nearly as well against regulators. But to stop the army of regulators who are destroying Economic Growth and there is no Regulatory Reform more important and repealing every single word of obamacare. [applause] now, i am here right now to enlist your help. We are getting ready to have an epic battle on obamacare. You may have Read Congress has voted 38, 39, 506 times two repeal obamacare but none of those votes were binding. None of them are passed into law. Its one thing to vote when its a symbolic gesture and you can save that you voted to do it. Its another thing when you can actually get it done. This fall, we have an opportunity to defund obamacare. [applause] in september, the continuing resolution that funds the fe
