But i think it is something thats underrealized or viewed as sort of not serious. Theres a difference between being not serious and stupid. Its sort of data visualization. Right now were in the very days of that world of news content and people who have been in traditionally news look at that stuff as interesting, sort of a novelty, lets play around with that. But i think were living in an incredibly, incredibly complicated age and being able to break down issues, being able to break things down in a way thats more easily digestible and bringing those experiences right now, theyre very, very expensive and very hard to replicate on mobile devices. I think as that field grows it is going to become a bigger and bigger part of mainstream News Coverage and how we take issues and how we deliver them to people. Theres one thing that i think is, if i may, serious now that i think will be sill ly later whi is sort of niche media sites, things that are focused exclusively on one audience. There are a lot of sites, for instance, specifically catering to young people, tires, young people want to come here and read young people news. Feel free to use names. I think that is going to change. A lot of sites that are targeted for a specific audience, i think more an more reviewing ourselves as wanting to consume the news that everyone is consuming and wanting to be in the same place, having that same conversation. So i think thats going to start to change over the next tech cade. What do you guys think . Well, infographics are easy. You can see they have a long shelf life. I think there is always a good idea in how people are communicating and there is always a better way to use a medium. Even Something Like gifts which seem like jokes of a like a cat falling or badger waving or something can also be instructions on like how to tie a tie or things like but i mean there are to be able to see complicated ideas very quickly is something that is valuable. I feel like people done always see the kernel or elegance of how something can be used. Initially just were used for animals doing human things. Now you see serious pieces trying to explain serious issues but animating the serious issue. Or sports. I think its Weather Center people embrace a platform more to me than whether or not theres worth in a way of communicating information. Thats great. Thank you, guys, very much. Thank you. Were live morning at George Washington university where Republican NationalCommittee ChairReince Priebus will speaking about what the Republican Party calls its principles for american renewal, an outline of not just what the gop opposes but also ideas that the party supports.

Were pleased to have with us our chairman of our board, david norcross. Were pleased to have the rnc here with us. Mike shields. Shawn spicer. Sara flores have done a lot of work. But also on our side i want to thank john brant and angelique and kerry and everybody else that put this event together. We teach how do you advance causes, candidates, commerce, in an ethical and professional way. In doing that, its best to bring people that are actually in the arena that are working at it and figuring out how you move things forward. Every election cycle comes with a new skill, a new strategy, a new tool. And better understanding those tools is a key function for with a were trying to bring to our students and making sure that they have the latest and the greatest and the best. Thats why were pleased to welcome someone who is in the arena. Now all of you know that Reince Priebus prior to being chairman of the Republican National committee was chairman of Wisconsin Republican committee. I can tell you as a minnesotan, there are good things you can say about wisconsin. They share a border with minnesota. Thats mongts beamongst the besi can say and if you get on the right side, can you actually cheer for the right football team. Hes done a good job in his two terms as head of the rn krflt. What does a party do. A party focuses on making sure that the party across its various elected officials can try to bring a common message but it also provides the infrastructure for campaigns. These are very important issues for our students to know. I welcome all of our students here today. Were very pleased and honored to have Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National committee. Please give him a great George Washington welcome. By the way, the packers are playing the vikings tonight on thursday night football. So good luck. Well, good morning, everybody. Director kennedy, professor brown, thank you for inviting us here today to talk about the election and the principles of american renewal. Election day is only 33 days away, and early voting has begun in some states. Many have labeled this Midterm Election a referendum on the policies of president barack obama. In many ways, it is. If you ask the country, most people would say they know our Party Opposes many of those policies. We oppose them because we know theres a better way. Republicans have new ideas to solve the countrys problems, bottomup solutions, founded in the free market, compassion, responsibility, and the idea that america is headed for better days. So before november, i wanted to take a moment, cut through the noise and talk about whats driving the Republican Party. People know what were against. I want to talk about the things that were for. Our overarching vision as a country that offers unlimited equal opportunity for everybody. In pursuit of that vision, our partys three core values have long been a strong economy, a strong society, and a strong defense. The principles of american renewal, which im outlining today, fit into those three categories. They represent ideas from across our party. These 11 principles unite us as a party and inform our policy making, whether youre running for governor in new york, or congress in the south, or the state house in the west. These principles cover 11 vital topics jobs, spending, health care, our veterans, National Security, education, poverty, values, energy, and immigration. But the first principle is about our constitution. Principle number one. Our constitution should be preserved, valued and honored. Our rights do not come from government. As the declaration says, they are rights endowed by our creator. The governments job is to protect these natural rights. Our constitution, our founding principles are unique in human history. It created a government of limited power and empowers all of us to preserve those limits. Our constitution is a source of american exceptionalism. Its the wisdom of our founders and the foundation of all good policy. When followed, it maximizes freedom, opportunity, and individual well being. As ill discuss during many times today, the practical effect of a commitment to the constitution is resorting power to we, the people. From our work to eliminate poverty to our efforts to improve education and health care, states need the ability to respond to their residents needs. This doesnt just make constitutional sense. It makes common sense. The federal government has boundaries, and when it oversteps them, its encroaching on your personal freedom and your god given liberty to decide whats right for your life. That guides our thinking on every single issue. Right now americans say the economy is their top issue. That brings us to principle number two. We need to start growing americaamerica americas economy instead of washingtons economy so americans see more wages and more opportunity. In other words, bureaucrats, lobbyists, out of touch politicians need to get out of the way and give American Workers and businesses the freedom to create jobs. Overtaxing and overregulating, create jobs for the wrong people. Lobbyists and bureaucrats, right here in d. C. As many pours into d. C. They take jobs away from the people that need them. Middle class moms and dads. Young people just out of high school or college. Minority communities where unemployment is way above average. You hear republicans talk about regulations a lot. Theres a reason. Regulations come between you and a job. They make your paycheck smaller. Its one thing to protect consumers. Thats important. But it is another thing to protect special interests, outdated regulations are the Reason Companies like uber have to fight tooth and nail just to do business. So what would it look like if government regulators got out of the way a little . Take a look at what republican governors are doing across america. Every year states governed by republicans top the lists of best places to do business. Now i dont mean that congress should close up shop, though some would say under harry reid and the senate theyve already done that a long time ago. There are some Things Congress can do to get the economy going again. For example, senator tim scott proposed the skills act to help people get job training for new jobs. Many of its ideas were included in the workforce innovation and opportunity act which passed congress this summer. Mark morial, the head of the urban league, said the bill would mean millions of unemployed and unemployed workers in urban youth and youth of color can receive the job and skills training an support services they need to cart a path to a Better Future. Thats the kind of thing that republicans support. Bills like the skills act. The leap act which is to support aparen disship programs or the career act from senator rob portman. Senator rand pauls idea for Economic Freedom zones could create jobs in areas of high unemployment an help alleviate poverty. But part of the equation is also getting washington, d. C. To stop spending our money on things we dont need. So that brings us to principle number three. We need to pass a balanced Budget Amendment to the constitution, make government more efficient and leave the next generation with opportunity, not debt. You know, this year, approximately 4 million children will be born in the United States. The most popular names for girls will likely be emma and sophia. The most popular name for boys is reince. Im just kidding. Youre awake. Actually, i think it is liam and noah. But an interesting fact though. A newborn babys grasp is so strong that he can support his entire weight in midair with just the strength of his curled fingers. And hanging on for dear life is a great skill for babies born today to have. Considering the burden you and i are going to leave them, its unbelievable. Were leaving each child born today a share of almost 18 trillion in national debt, a debt for every child thats over 55,000. How is that fair. Shame on us if we dont do something because taking care of our generation shouldnt require robbing the next. Thats why congressmen like paul ryan and jim jordan have produced budgets that would reduce and free spending, protect our safety net, and start paying off our debt. Today businesses run more efficiently. Our homes run more efficiently. Yet our federal government gets bigger, slower, and more expensive. It doesnt make any sense. Lets apply some 21st century efficiency to the 20th century bureaucracy. Save money and balance the budget. Moving on to health care, which is one of the big drivers of our spending, principle number four. We need to start over with Real Health Care reform that puts patients and their doctors in charge. Not unelected bureaucrats in washington. Let me ask you this. At the most critical moment of your life, when your health an maybe even your life hangs in the balance, how do you want decisions made about what kind or even how much health care youre going to be allowed to get . We need Health Care Solutions that reduce costs, provide greater access to world class care, and give americans more control over their health care decisions. But obamacare gave washington, d. C. More control over our health care and patients and doctors less. Republicans trust americans to make their own health care decisions. Democrats get defensive when you criticize obamacare for failing to meet its own goals. Their comeback is to ask republicans, well, whats your plan to make health care more affordable . And were glad they asked. Now if theyll just listen to the answer, here it is. First off, the problem with the Affordable Care act is it didnt make health care more affordable. But to address the larger inu, republicans have solutions and they want to do what obamacare was supposed to do lower prices and expand coverage. Here are six examples. First, allowing consumers to Purchase Health care across state lines like you purchase almost any other good or service. Second, allowing Small Businesses to pull together to negotiate lower insurance rates for their employees. Third, stopping the frivolous lawsuits that drive up costs. We finally need tort reform in this country. Fourth, expanding the allowable expenses for Health Savings accounts. Fifth, restructuring the tax code so that americans buying individual plans get tax deductions, leveling the Playing Field with those with employer insurance. Sixth, protecting pri ining pri individuals with preexisting conditions who maintain continuous coverage. Now unlike obamacare, none of these reforms require new taxes. No handing over your information to an unsecure website. And if you like your plan, you can actually keep it. Improving Health Care Access and quality gets right to the heart of the next issue veterans affairs. Principle number five. Our veterans have earned our respect and gratitude and no veteran should have to wait in line for months or years just to see a doctor. The va scandal under president obama is unconscionable. Big picture it is anothexamp how mismanaged this administration really is. The most important thing in making sure veterans get the care they need its number one. It shouldnt matter if its in a va facility or not. Thats why republicans were proud to support at the bipartisan veterans access to care through choice, accountability and Transparency Act of 2014. It gives veterans the ability to get care from. Nonva facilities when they live too far away, or have waited too long. Republicans have proposed such measures even before the va scandal made national headlines. Other scandals and issues have nok knocked the va out of the news for now, but that doesnt mean everythings fixed. Republicans will be vigilant in the next congress to ensure that the va gets its act together. No one who risks their life for our country dies waiting to see a doctor. We have to keep our word to our veterans, both because it is a moral obligation and because the service of our armed forces is critical to our National Security. That brings us to principle number six. Keeping america safe and strong requires a strong military, growing our economy, Energy Independence, and securing our borders. The federal government has no greater responsibility than keeping us safe. If youre not safe, if your family and kids arent secure, nothing else matters. With isis, we face an enemy who wants americans dead and our way of life destroyed. We need leaders who will defeat terrorism, not manage it. We need leaders who elect decisively, not down play the threat as jv. We need leaders who will take responsibility, not blame the intelligence community. This is no time to weaken our military. It is a time to strengthen our military. We can eliminate waste and bureaucracy inside the pentagon, but we must have more resources for our troops. We also have to recognize that security threats of the 21st century and improve our Cyber Security has to be important. Thats why chairman mike rogers introduced the Cyber Intelligence and sharing protection act and chairman mike mccall introduced the Cyber Security enhancement act. Like i said, National Security includes more than just our military. It means pursuing Energy Independence and securing our border. Ill come to that soon in the next few topics. But first lets mo
