Eurozone separate a largely jobless recovery. I if we have if you include the underemployed, the unemployed, and those who have given up and simply stopped working, we have 14 million unemployed or underemployed and we have the lowest Labor Participation rates since. The 1970s. Thats the fiscal and economic picture. Then you look at the cultural picture, and we have one out of every two majors in america ending in divorce. We have a majority of all the children being raised in America Today are being raised by one of their two parents not present in the household. 40 of all the children born in america this year will be born out of wedlock. That figure is 72 in the africanamerican community, it is 53 in the latino community. Folks, there is no way to sustain vibrant communities with that many children being born and raised out of wedlock. Without the benefit of the tough love and the nurture of both parents. According to the centers for disease control, one out of every four 18 to 24yearolds in America Today is a regular that is to say a weekly or more frequently regular user of marijuana or other illegal drugs. One out of four. Highest level since then 1970s, and when states around the country are beginning to legalize marijuana in violation of federal law this Administration Announces publicly they will no longer enforce federal law. They just pick and choose which laws to enforce. In new york city, 80 of the graduates of public high school, 80 , require remedial classes to perform basic functions or are functionally illiterate. And in this city, new york city and other major cities, an africanamerican under the age of 25, an africanamerican male has a higher statistical likelihood of being killed before the age of 25 than an american soldier did in iraq or afghanistan. Now, thats the domestic picture. And, folks, these are tough words. But they are the truth. As a society, after 50 years of, if it feels good, do it, we have reaped what we have sowed. We have turned our backs on god, and his precepts, and like a prodigal child we now live with those consequences. Beyond our shores, russia has seized crimea and threatens not only ukraine but the other former baltic republics. Sierra is in flames. Do syria is in flames, a blood theirsy tie runt hassledderred innocent civilians and three Million People are displaced in syria, and surrounding areas, including a million refugees in jordan alone. We have an Al Qaeda Shaw shoot on the verge of toppling the government of iraq and this administration fiddles while rome burns. And i dont know about you but i thought it was more important for barack obama to come back to washington and convene an emergency meeting of his National Security council than it was for him to stay in palm springs and play golf for two days when al qaeda was marching across the middle east. [applause] in iran, the mullahs stand 120 and 180 days of having enough enriched uranium for a nuclear bomb and there are 30,000 centrifuges spinning at their nuclear installations. Now, i ask you, do i paint an accurate picture . Or die exaggerate . I think its an accurate picture. And this is our message to the people of america this weekend. These are not just money problems. And these are not just military problems. My friends, these are moral problems that will only be solved with moral and spiritual solutions. If you dont believe me, just look at the moral and spiritual corruption that has led to a hearing going on right now in the house of representatives as we speak in which the commissioner of the Internal RevenueInternal Revenue service is being called to testify under oath about what was a systemic and deliberate campaign, i believe, cords nateed with the white house and the Justice Department cords nateed with the white house and she Justice Department to try to harass, intimidate, and silence opponents of this administration. And after they got called on that, they have now destroyed the evidence of their crime. And make no mistake about it, my friends. These were federal crimes. It is a crime to abuse the power of the Internal Revenue service for political purposes and those who were responsible should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. For that abuse. [applause] now they say that two years of emails between lois lerner, the white house, and the department of justice, are missing. They cant find them. This is the bureaucratic equivalent of the dog ate my homework. This comes after the emails have been under subpoena for, i believe, two and a half years. In which the irs has claimed they were complying. And not only did lois lerners hard drive crash, but the hard drives of six other irs officials who were involved in this conspiracy, have also crashed. And while this was going on, you probably know i knoll you know this year, the irs attempted to promulgate new rules that would have cracked down on the ability of grassroots citizen organizations like faith and Freedom Coalition, and others, to educate, inform, and register voters prior to election. And i dont know how closely you looked at this, but these regulations were so draconian and so nefarious that they would have prohibited Voter Registration drives in churches within 30 days of a primary or 60 days of a general election. They would have outlawed the ability of groups like ours to even post to the voting record of an incumbent member of congress on a web site. Folks, this is a total infringement of our godgiven not just our american rights our godgiven rights as free people. And we were not about to take it lying down. So, faith and Freedom Coalition, in the spring of this year, emailed, phoned, texted, testmessaged, and otherwise contacted approximately two million of our close personal friends and said if you dont speak out now, theyre going to take away your First Amendment rights, and let me tell you what happened. 71,600 members and activists and supporters of faith and Freedom Coalition filed comments with the irs. That was roughly half of the 150,000 comments that were received and the irs has now announced they have stopped that rulemaking procedure because of the efforts that you undertook. We have to remain vigilant because when they made that announcement, they said we stopped this rulemaking procedure and turned off the switch and now going to start a new rulemaking procedure. So were going to have to do it all over again and thats fine. Because the price of liberty is eternal vigilant, and let me tell you what we are going to do after wi kill this regulation. Were going to see a new senate and a new house. Come january of 2015. And we are not going to stop until we abolish this agency, clear that building, fumigate it, i think we ought to raise raze that build though ground and build a monument on the rubble so future generations will know we stood up and stopped tyranny so they would remain free. [applause] later on ill tell you what i really think about this issue. Im sort of dialing it back right now. But you know what . As important as that is and it is important its important for us to make sure, as the apostle paul so eloquently says, that we complete the work and we finish the job of those who surround us like a great cloud of witnesses. And call us to complete the job, because were not here this morning by accident. The price of our ability to organize, to mobilize, to vote, to encourage likeminded citizens to do the same, to contact our elected officials, to make our views known, to petition those in government, and make them responsive to our will, folks, this is not the norm, not only in the history of western civilization in this planet, its not the norm today. Look at crimea, ukraine, libya, look at what is unfolding in egypt and throughout the middle east, and i mentioned iraq and syria. This is a precious right that has been purchased with the blood of patriots, and we should not take it lightly. And as important as it is, i really believe this with all my heart, whatever problems we have as a nation, god is bigger than every one of them. And whatever problems we have and i think this is probably always been true but i think the lord has brought to us this place so that we all realize it and its irrefutable. Look, were going to turn out a big volt in november. And believe you me, change is coming. The cavalry is on the way. But what ails america is not going to be solved by throwing out one group of politicians and replacing them with another group of politicians. And its not going to be solved by repealing their bad laws and replacing them with other laws. Now, those are important things but to there is only one thing, only one thing, that will bring this nation back to economic, military, and moral greatness, and that is we need an awakening, a moral and spiritual awakening that will call our nation back to brokenness, humility, reliance, and dependence upon almighty god. Thats what this nation needs. You know, when Ronald Reagan took the oath of office and you may remember that reagan had asked, when he was nog rated, inaugurated, to move the ceremony that had been held on the east side of the capitol throughout history, and he asked it by moved to the west front of the capitol. So that he could look down the mall, at the washington monument, the lincoln memorial, the jefferson memorial, and take in the what had made america great. And before he stepped to that podium to deliver that inaugural address, when he took the oath of office, you may know that he took the oath by placing his hand on his mother nells bible. His mother was a deeply committed christian. Reagan didnt leave lead a charmed life. He was the son of an alcoholic. He grew up in a home that knew the tragedy and the pain of chemical dependency, and he became a believer when he was i think 11 or 12 years old. It was his mothers bible that welsh thumbed, welsh marked bible that guided him through the turbulent childhood, and that bible was opened to second chronicle 7 14. That is where he placed his hand. That was his theme verse. And that verse says if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my faith, and turn from their wicked ways, then will i hear their prayer from heaven, and i will forgive their sins, and i will heal their land. I want you to think about that verse for a minute, and note that it doesnt say, if others will pray. If all those sinners or all those bad people or all those folks on the other side of the divide if they will. No. It says, if my people, if the people called by my name, that means us. Were the ones who have to repent. We have allowed this to happen. And i dont know about you, but im done letting it happen. In the country that i love. Hear. Hear hear. , so let that verse be our verse. Let that repentance begin this weekend. Lets humble ourselves. Lets usher in by the power of the holy spirit that awakening and restore our land. Thank you all very much and god bless you. [applause] thank you very much. More in the warehouse. I like that. I havent heard that one before. Little wisdom from brother benny. Thank you so much. And thank you, ralph, for inviting me to be back, and thank you all for being here today. I wanted to come with a special message, a message ive been delivering really since a year ago at the value voter summit where i talked about how we as a movement have to identify the fact that, as a movement, we have not been connecting with the people who are hurting in this country and providing them a message and a plan for them to embrace and live the american dream. The bottom line in america is a lot of people are struggling. A lot of disillusionment and like america is heading on the wrong track, for very good reasons. Ralph just listed a whole bunch of them, as though problems confronting this country. But as conservatives and as value voters, our message in my opinion over the past 20, 30 years, has gotten stale and has gotten out of step. With where americas problems are. We are a party, we are movement, that continues to focus on certain issues that i believe are, well, lets just say, not as relevant to average americans as they used to be. We used to be a movement, if you looked at least from me, you had folks that if you looked at our voting patterns, suburban areas used to be very strong, conservative areas, and elected republicans. Cities were not so good. Now its not the case anymore. In fact, the conservative movement is no longer the movement of the corporate boardroom or the country club. In fact the vast majority of our supporters are the folks that hold traditional values like you and theyre not business people. Theyre workers, people who work for a living, for somebody else. But if you listen to the message that we have been delivering for the past 30 or 40 years we dont talk about workers. I mentioned in the speech last year, at the National Convention two years ago, how we spend an entire day on the stuck of, you didnt build that. On she subject of, you didnt build that and one Business Owner after another came up to the podium saying, yes, we are did build that. Every think how many Business Owners versus how many workes . Ever think about who is struggling most in america with stagnant wages and falling behind with inflation and the lack of opportunity . Probably the 70 of americans who dont have College Degrees but if you listen to the message we have been delivering its all about the Business Owner, about the corporation, about wall street. And its not about average working americans. Thats why i decided after the peach last year to write a book called blue collar consecutives. Because, ladies and gentlemen, thats the future for america. We have to start to be the country again that believes that everybody in america rises and we have to have a game plan that doesnt say, if businesses do really well, everybody else will do well. Well, that just hasnt been the case. We see wall street at new highs, real estate values climbing, and the average american not doing so way and not feeling like anybody cares about them. In the last election, 23 of the people at the exit polls said the most important issue for them was does this candidate care about people like me . And guess who those people who that was their most important issue . They were average, lower, and middle income people. And guess how our candidate did . As to whether he cared about people like them. He got 19 of that vote. Ladies and gentlemen, were not going to win very many elections if people dont think we care about them. If the average american doesnt think that we have an agenda and a message for them, you know what the most popular word is in everybodys lexicon . Their own name. Everybody loves to hear their own name. Yet when we get up and paint a picture for america, we go up and talk about tax cuts, balanced budgets, right . We talk about running in reining in the size and scale of government. Im for progrowth policy but where in that picture is the average northwestern where is their name . The average american . Where is theirs name . We have to start painting a picture that includes their name so they can see themselves in the great artwork of america. This is where i think some elements of our party dont understand, dont understand how important two major issues are. Number one, values. You see those folks i have been talking about, they agree with us on values. They know the importance of life and marriage. Anyway know the importance they know the importance of strong values and virtue in their community. In fact you know that every family in america is a little business. You think about it. Every family unit runs a business. They have revenues and expenditures, they have to operate, balance their budgets. And when those Little Family units are not functioning well, the economy doesnt function well. You know, the word economy comes from the greek word which means home. The first economy is the home. And yet you see many people in our party and the movement who dont want to fight for the most basic institution that holds the family together, and thats the institution of marriage. You people who dont understand the value of having two people in that home raising children and providing for the next generation. As a much more efficient economic unit. I shared during the campaign if you could three things in america, if you work, if you graduate from high school, and you get married before you have children, you have less than a two percent chance of ever being in poverty in america. Yet you never hear either party out there talking about marriage, not the definition of marriage, but reclaiming marriage for the good that it is for our economy and our country. Marriage is an institution. That helps our country. You want limited government . You want more married people in stable families in america. [applause] marriage is a public good. And if you think about the policies that the other side has put in place and we have tacitly agreed with, it actually stops people from getting married. Our tax code is antimarriage. Our benefit structures, you heard this year last year, when they were talking about obamacare, obamacare discourages work, right . Because the more money you make, the less subsidy you get and therefore you actually are worse off by the more you work. Thats also true with all welfare benefits. Its discourages work, discourages thats one thing that will give you out of poverty. Let me tell you what else happens witch these benefits. It discourages marriage. I was in wisconsin, during the campaign, and a guy is running for the congress right now said showed me a document in wisconsin that if youre a single mom, with two children, making 150,000 15,000 a year in wisconsin you were eligible for 38,000 in benefits. But if you got married you lost them all. Now, think of the economic decisions that we are forcing upon women trying to raise children. Who would like to be in a relationship, a married relationship, but cannot because its economically devastating for her and her children. What are we doing . Is there anyone fighting on this . Do you hear any republicans or conservatives fighting to say, we need to help people. Encourage people to get married. Form families. Have father involved and men involved in the lives of raising children, because children need mothers and fathers. [applause] we need to have an agenda that speaks across the economic spectrum. We need to be the party of the worker
